Thanks Tassilo, that worked. I think I finally understand what the heck is going on with the *-set-key commands, now. Thanks also to everybody else! I normally work from within X, although I do sometimes ssh into things, so thanks for the warnings that it won't work sometimes. The C-x ESC ESC thing doesn't work, though, because emacs says that "there is no complex command to repeat", which I guess means that if it can't do anything, it doesn't record it? Thanks again for the fast responses!
