It appears to be an error in the documentation.  The clue is in the
output from bind, where the arrow keys are listed as "F-A", "F-B", etc;
they generate the sequences ^[[A, ^[B, etc.

My F9 key generates ^[[20~, so I tried:

        > bind downcase-word F-20~

This worked fine.

It seems that bind X-<?> is equivalent to bind ^X<?>; it just binds the
keystrokes prefixed by ctrl-x.
