Subject: rebinding ESC key

Hello,

I would like to rebind the ESC key to execute a single function on a key-press. A simple mapping like this:

(global-set-key kdb("<ESC>") 'execute-extended-command)

I found that when I successfully bound the key that many of the essential bindings such as "M-" were broken.
I am assuming that M- is some sort of alias to ESC for compatibility. (which has been handy on weird terminals
such as screen). 

How do I map the ESC key without altering M- bindings ?

sorry if this is a FAQ, I did google.

Cheers,
Mike Mattie
