Eli, for a change, this time Mr. Jacobson is right. `replace.el' defines:
        (define-key esc-map "%" 'query-replace)
and     (define-key esc-map [?\C-%] 'query-replace-regexp)

but when he type ESC C-%, he does not hold the shift so he ends up with 
C-5. I checked both NTemacs and Emacs on X windows and ESC C-% works as
defined.

Of course you are right that it won't work on tty (no C-% in ASCII).

Ehud.
