    It worked under Emacs-20, but returned the same as "\C-a"

Thanks.

    In Emacs-21 this was fixed to return an error

    You probably meant to use (define-key my-map [?\C-!] 'my-cmd)

That's what I meant. Sorry for the typo.

    I'd recommend (define-key my-map [(control ?!)] 'my-cmd)
    
OK. Thanks.
