I recently received a copy of emacs 18.50 to install on our ULTRIX-32 and
VMS 4.6 systems.  The ULTRIX installation went through without a hitch, but
the VMS installation doesn't seem to be all there.  I have transferred
all of the source file, built it just as descrived in the VMSINSTALL docs,
created the dump file, but when I run temacs, some of the standard(?)
bindings are missing (C-a, C-d, ^X anything,...)  It is very irritating
to have to type 'M-x delete-char' just to delete a character (neither
backspace nor delete keys seem to work).  Is this a totally foreign
problem, or has someone else seen this also?

I am not an Emacs veteran nor a VMS one either, so any help is GREATLY
appreciated.

Thanks,
  Mike
