While we're at it, why not use the 'netscape' key-codes?
M-w for close-window
M-q for quit app
M-o for open
...
This way C-* is used for editing (ala readline) and M-* is used for
window operations. Much more Unix-friendly, IMHO. Granted, I might
accidentally hit M-q when I'm thinking 'fill-paragraph', but then
again I use emacs too much ;)
