What is the exact syntax for changing the action

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).

RedHat Linux 9.0

Why are you running an antique distro like RH9? Install
Fedora 7 or
CentOS5.1 and then we will be able to give you some help.
RH9 has been
dead for 5 years, who knows what was packaged with it.

I am a Visual C++ programmer that is trying to get up to
speed on Linux by Monday for a job interview, there is a job
that mostly involves Visual C++ but also has some Linux. I
already know the essential basics of compiling C++ programs,
and need to very quickly fill in a few gaps.
