Presumably you're running in a tty window under X, but under which
operating system?.  I run emacs directly on a Linux tty.  I had to remap
my keyboard (with the program loadkeys) fairly radically to make it
produce different codes for [right] and [C-right], and so on.  Maybe you
have to do this (or something similar) for emacs -nw.

Well, tell us HOW it didn't help.  :-)   What exactly does happen?

Let me guess:  C-prior does exactly the same as prior.  After typing
these two key sequences, do a C-h l ('view-lossage') to see exactly what
key codes emacs received.
