The recipe I gave tried to bind it to `indent-region' using M-x
global-set-key (no particular reason to choose indent-region, just
because it has a visible effect).
The interesting thing is that after executing the `define-key' form,
C-h f C-. says: "C-." undefined, it is somehow recognized...
Anyway, the main goal of this exercise is to be able to use C-. in a
new xterm which emits a special escape sequence for C-. (unlike old
xterms that just emit C-.). And not only C-. but also other key
combinations that were not available in an xterm before.
What is the way to make this work?
Is there some subtlety here about key bindings that I miss? Or there's
some bug somewhere?
Thanks
