I think the problem is one of interpretation. The "^" in "^X"
is shorthand for "control" not the actual "^" symbol (which
get by pressing the "shift-6". In your key sequence 'control,
shift then "^" & "X"` do not press the "shift" and the "^"
keys (just "control" and "X").

Well it works well enough, but I end up sending silly looking email.
What is terminal emulation?   What can I do?

*argl* Ok, I got a indigenous keyboard, that's why I never even
thought of that...
