I am using GNU Emacs 18.55 on a Sun-3/80, SunOS 4.0.3. When I put
the following lines in my .emacs file, I get an error message.
setting debug-on-error doesn't help.

;; define the INS key to toggle insert/overwrite mode
;; where esc [ 2 4 7 z is generated by the INS key
(global-set-key "\C-[[247z" 'overwrite-mode)


This works when typed into the *scratch* buffer.  It also works
when I put this into a seperate file, and manually type
"M-X load-file fkeys.elc".
