Greetings.  I am trying to write an emulator for vi in gnu-emacs (don't
even ask!)  At any rate, I've got everything I need *except* the 
functionality of the escape key.  For some reason, I can't figure out
how to rebind esc.  I've tried the following: define-key in the
command mode keymap, global-set-key, global-unset-key followed
by global-set, and changing the function definition of "ESC-prefix"
(I think that was all, who can remember?) None of these worked.
(Oh yes, I also tried variously using "\e" vs. the 'real' escape char.)
Suggestions would be appreciated.
