I'm using a Visual Technology X-terminal most of the time and would
like to have emacs functions mapped to the terminal function
keys, and have the terminal arrow keys mapped to emacs pointer
movement functions.

But, how?

As an example, I've tried the mapping the up arrow key (^[[A) to be
previous-line in my .emacs file:
 (define-key global-map "^[[A" 'previous-line)
 (define-key global-map "\C-[A" 'previous-line)
 (define-key global-map "\e[A" 'previous-line)
 (define-key global-map "\e[-A" 'previous-line)

I keep getting an "error in init file" message.
Anyone know how I'm supposed to set this up?
