I have redefined "\C-b" in my .emacs to execute a function other than
backward-char.  Things work fine on a standard vt-100 type terminal
with this modification.  If I run gnu emacs on our DEC Workstations
with X-windows however, the left arrow key executes the function that
I've redefined \C-b to execute.  It seems like something must be wrong
with x11term.c or another of the X-Window interface files.  Could one
of them bind the arrow keys to emacs macros rather than emacs
functions?

Any and all help appreciated!
