   I'm stumped!  I can't find a way to use the control key on my
   (regular Mac) keyboard as part of a "Command-key".  What's worse,
   the control key doesn't seem to be mentioned in the manual.

   I can't be the only Word user that would like to make Word keystroke
   bindings match up with a "primitive" (but memorized) text editor ...

If you are referring to Emacs, I have a so-called 'Word ->Emacs'
settings file for 4.0 (which I haven't tried) which supposedly maps
the keys that way.  If you need it, ask.

As far as the control key goes, on my SE/30 I just go to commands and
'add key' and type control-<whatever> and it worked.

Now, if you are referring to vi, I'm sure the command settings file
exists, or could be created fairly 'easily', relatively speaking.  But
I don't know vi so I couldn't do it.
