I'm not familiar with the differences between ascii and non-ascii ctrl
characters, but using kbd fixed the problem. :)

(Note: I swapped around the C-<> and M-<> keys from what's shown
above.) I'm giving these new key combos a try for a little while.
Using M-v for page up has always seemed out of place wrt the rest of
the Emacs key bindings. And M-n / M-p seems to make perfect sense for
backward-/forward-paragraph.

Thanks Johan!
