+# Usage: bind map key function
+#    key is the key (or key sequence) you wish to bind. To specify a control
+#    character, use the sequence \Cx, where x is the letter of the control
+#    character (for example, to specify control-A use ``\Ca''). Note that the
+#    case of x as well as \C is ignored, so that \CA, \Ca, \cA and \ca are all
+#    equivalent. An alternative form is to specify the key as a three digit
+#    octal number prefixed with a ``\'' (for example \177 is equivalent to \c?).
+# Can bind multiple keys to a function by using multiple bind commands.
