I hope the '))' means that some if or such block ends here ...

All I can say (or, more exact: write) is: find a terminal emulation  
that accepts more than the Shift, Control, Mode_Switch modifiers and  
that is open to X Resource settings with these extra modifiers! gnome- 
terminal, kterm, mlterm could provide these extra options -- and  
maybe some X11 distribution (there are at least two, XFree 86 and  
X.Org) has an enhanced xterm. (aterm and eterm seem to be restricted  
to vt102 -- maybe they more!)

Right! In a terminal emulation you must teach this one to translate a  
key event with modifier to produce some ANSI like escape codes which  
Emacs can understand.


Angelina, why do you want to restrict GNU Emacs to a command line  
programme? It has more powers as an X client. If you want to reach it  
from command line use emacsclient! In .emacs you just need to add a  
(server-start) statement and when you set in terminal environment  
variables like EDITOR or VISUAL to 'emacsclient ...' then quite all  
editing is delegated to X11 Emacs. You can load or execute Elisp  
code. With SecureShell and X11 tunnelling Emacs can run remotely  
displaying locally (my preferred way), tramp seems to allow being  
remotely logged in from local Emacs (I haven't checked that since I  
have no such needs).
