I have recently started using GNU Emacs, after having used Unipress
Emacs for about two years.  In the course of converting my .emacs_pro
file for Unipress Emacs to a .emacs file for GNU I have run into the
following problem.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, what I want to do is define the function keys on the keypad
of my vt100-lookalike terminal to do certain useful things.  The relevant
portion of my .emacs file looks like this:

(if (string-equal (substring (getenv "TERM") 0 2) "vt")
     (progn
          (defvar vt100-prefix-map (make-sparse-keymap))
	  (fset 'vt00-prefix-key v-prefix-map)

	  (define-key esc-map "O" 'vt100-prefix-key)

	  (define-key vt100-prefix-map "x" 'foo)
	  (define-key vt100-prefix-map "y" 'bar) ))

All the function keys on a vt100 transmit ESC-O-something, and I
want to bind these keys to functions.  What happens with this is
that when GNU Emacs boots up, none of the definitions prescribed by
the define-key's are made, however, if I load .emacs again, manually,
the definitions take effect.

Can anybody clue me in as to why this doesn't work?  Am I doing
anything obviously wrong?  There is a very similar piece of code in
about the last 5 or 10 lines of "files.el" in the distributed "lisp"
directory, having to do with the "C-x 4" prefix.

Thanks in advance for any information . . .
