This works for me:
(local-set-key [escape] (lambda ()
(interactive)
(message "Escape test")))
Of course you want to do something else then sending a message, maybe
something like (delete-frame) or (bury-buffer).
Also, you probably want to add the key to a certain key map. This is
what I do for my jabber client:
(define-key jabber-chat-mode-map [escape]
'my-jabber-chat-delete-or-bury)
