Another key binding question

I recently posted a question about binding the arrow keys to the
obvious functions.  Thanks to all those who answered my question.

Now I have the following question.

I have the following in my .bash_profile:

foo () {
   echo -n bar
}

And the line:

M-f: foo

in my .inputrc, I don't get M-f bound to foo.  Instead I get a beep
from M-f.  Is there any way to get this kind of behaviour?

Alternatively, can I bind a key to a *sequence* of command-line
editing commands, rather than a single command (a la cmu-shell
macros)?

Thanks again for your help.
