It's tricky. First, let me say that I'm very grateful to have MG3 available, and I know what an enormous task it has been for Mike Meyer and others to get it as far along as it is. As a freebie we all have to be thankful for whatever support we can get. That having been said, can somebody tell me why the following lines at the end of my mg-startup do not work, i.e. the key bindings are never actually executed. The binding of normal control key sequences works fine. Furthermore (and this is the mysterious part), if I do the bindings "by hand", i.e. M-x global-set-key^M and so forth, which is a real drag, the bindings _are_ made. I thought at first maybe the option to bind function keys was not compiled in, but the fact that I can do them from the keyboard tells me that I _can_.
