CR in key definitions

Hi y'all,

    I'm using an IBM PC-like computer as a remote terminal (through Kermit)
to access more than one remote computer. One of these remote computers 
needs to have carriage returns in its key definitions for the function keys
to work. When I switch to a nice UNIX environment and run Emacs, there's
hell to pay.

    The standard key bindings (global-set-key is what I'm using; smart?
stupid? I don't know, I'm an amateur) do not like CR's in the definition.
e.g. (global-set-key "\E[OA\r" .... whatever) does not work. Emacs recognizes
the \EOA part, then punts and inserts a CR in my text.

    Right now I solve this by loading a new key definition file in Kermit 
everytime I switch between computers, but this is a pain in the neck
since switch between computers ALOT.

    What can Emacs do to help me unify my key definitions? Should I use
the key redefinition table (I just spotted the code in the FAQ posting)
or is there another, simpler way to deal with the problem?

    Thanks for your time,
                       Tim
