Okay, I *know* this can be done, and I'm apparently missing something
obvious.  I would like Emacs to start up with the Do key define as M-x
and Insert Here defined as yank.  I have no problem doing it once I'm
*in* Emacs, with either global-set-key or:

        (define-key esc-map "[26~" 'execute-extended-command)

but when I put the above line in my .emacs file, I get an "Error in Init
File" or some such thing when Emacs starts up.  (BTW, I know that [26~ may
not be *quite* the sequence, but y'know what I mean).

Is this the right direction?  Or does it involve the CSI-map?  I feel sort of
foolish, it should be easy.  But then again, I do recall a discussion a
few months ago about what one could and couldn't do in a .emacs file.

Much thanks in advance -
