I am a writer (not a Lisp programmer) trying to take greater 
advantage of the glory that is emacs.  I'm trying to bind 
keys to commands.  For example:

    (global-set-key "\M-p" '(move-to-window-line 0))

Emacs reads the previous line in my .emacs without complaint.
When I press Meta-p, however, I get:

    Wrong type argument: commandp, (move-to-window-line 0)

I'm getting the same problem with shell-command.

Where am I going amiss?


Thanks,
