As you could perhaps guess from the Newsgroups line, the specific
systems we were discussing are Mac OS X and BSD's. Or we could discuss
all Unix-like systems in general. They don't have "rpm". From your
statement, it would seem it is not even a Linux syandard, just
something that comes with two packages?

Type <tab> and then C-<tab> in "emacs -nw", then use C-h l.  I'm
guessing that Emacs will not see the difference between the two.

You first need to teach your terminal to send some sort of escape
sequence for C-<tab>.  Then you need to teach Emacs about this escape
sequence.  Let's say the escape sequence is ESC [ a b c, then the
following will teach Emacs:

(unless window-system
  (define-key function-key-map (kbd "ESC [ a b c") (kbd "C-<tab>")))

For teaching xterm about it, hmmm...   Maybe this works in
~/.Xdefaults or equivalent:

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \
        Ctrl <Key> Tab: string(0x1B) string("[abc") \n\
        ...other.bindings.here...

Omit the "\n\" part if you only have one translation.

Yes.  You are not allowing Emacs to talk to X.  (What if you were
running on the console and there was no X to talk to?)  I don't know
if M-x xterm-mouse-mode RET helps, but it's easy enough to try.

Or maybe you just fix your Emacs font...

Actually, it's already in GNU Emacs --- from the index of the very file you
referenced: "Richard Stallman has decided to incorporate this package into
GNU Emacs."
