emacs on MAC OS X 10.2

[mark belloni <markbelloni@earthlink.net>]

help-gnu-emacs:  I am a powerbook G4 OS X 10.2 user and am brand new to 
GNU Emacs.

To customize GNU Emacs, I have tried to create a .emacs file that is 
bug free without
success that works on the terminal.app .

What I would like to do at this time is two fold.

1.) map the arrow keys to their respective GNU Emacs commands.
1a.) preserve the C-x 1 window setting; when butchering the attempt at
        1.) the window gets split into 2.  I tried to get a macro 
inserted into
         .emacs below but it does not work

2.) map the delete-backward-char command to the "delete" key.  I could 
not so
      I chose to map to the "pipe" key instead.

Anyway, below is the butchered .emacs file so far, which needs 
attention.

Please advise.
