What is the exact syntax for changing the action of moving to
the next word, and prior word using <Cntrl><RightArrow> and
<Cntrl><LeftArrow> respectively? How do I make this syntax
work? (*** NOTE ***) I already tried looking this up, and found
the answer, yet the answer had a gap so that it did not work.

http://www.introrse.com/jasonc/docs/my-emacs.html (1) This does not
say
the name of the next word / prior word function (2) This uses the
Meta-key, and I don't have the meta key (3) It does not say where to
put, and how to invoke the .emacs file

Other examples have much larger gaps.

Are you using Emacs or Xemacs? In Xemacs that's the default
binding, I just tried it and it does exactly what you want.


I have decided to use regular emacs because this will always be
available and installed, Xemacs was not included in the default
installation of my system.

Regular Emacs is decidely inferior to Xemacs however the key bindings
that you want seem to work in regular Emacs also.


Not on my system.

Which distro are you using?

I'm not aware of any distro having any Emacs flavour as a required
package. FWIW, none of my systems (Gentoo) have GNU Emacs installed,
and some have no other editor than vi (and ed).
