Thanks.  This morning I installed xvkbd, which has the control key in 
the discussed place.  After seeing that, I started mentally trying the 
idea on for size.  I'll be remapping these two keys soon.  I had always 
wondered why the hell Emacs was so extensible, and yet had such awkward 
command sequences.  I had just started getting used to my gimpy, twisted 
C-x C-s , Alt-TAB, C-r everytime I wanted to check some Web work I was 
doing.  I looked like Jerry Lee Lewis playing "Goodness Gracious Great 
Flaming Text Editor Wars".

Thanks for all the response.
