Thanks! I have managed to get the key bound. That had been annoying me for 
ages.

In case anybody else has the same problem, it was:
        (global-set-key (quote [27 left]) 'beginning-of-line)

I cannot bind [(alt v)], yet I can bind [(meta v)], which makes sense since 
it says "Alt .... available only under X" at

I'd love to know why meta didn't work with arrow keys though.
