In the emacs manual, it's said:

   On ASCII terminals, there are only 32 possible control characters.
These are the control variants of letters and `@[]\^_'.  In addition,
the shift key is meaningless with control characters: `C-a' and `C-A'
are the same character, and Emacs cannot distinguish them.

I use xterm, I think it's graphical terminal, is it possibleto make
<shit>
work with <control> in xterm?
