characters case-sensitive when you customize Emacs. For instance, you
could make @kbd{M-a} and @kbd{M-A} run different commands.

+ Although only the @key{Control} and @key{META} modifier keys are
commonly used, Emacs supports three other modifier keys. These are
called @key{Super}, @key{Hyper} and @key{Alt}. Few terminals provide
ways to use these modifiers; the key labeled @key{Alt} on most
-keyboards usually issues the @key{Meta} modifier, not @key{Alt}. The
+keyboards usually issues the @key{META} modifier, not @key{Alt}. The
standard key bindings in Emacs do not include any characters with
these modifiers. However, you can customize Emacs to assign meanings
to them. The modifier bits are labeled as @samp{s-}, @samp{H-} and
common function keys:
@table @asis
-@item @code{left}, @code{up}, @code{right}, @code{down}
+@item @code{LEFT}, @code{UP}, @code{RIGHT}, @code{DOWN}
Cursor arrow keys.
-@item @code{begin}, @code{end}, @code{home}, @code{next}, @code{prior}
+@item @code{Begin}, @code{End}, @code{Home}, @code{next}, @code{prior}
Other cursor repositioning keys.
@item @code{select}, @code{print}, @code{execute}, @code{backtab}
used so often that they have special keys of their own. For instance,
@key{TAB} was another name for @kbd{C-i}. Later, users found it
convenient to distinguish in Emacs between these keys and the ``same''
-control characters typed with the @key{CTRL} key. Therefore, on most
+control characters typed with the @key{Ctrl} key. Therefore, on most
modern terminals, they are no longer the same: @key{TAB} is different
from @kbd{C-i}.
@samp{\C-} can be used as a prefix for a control character, as in
@samp{\C-s} for @acronym{ASCII} control-S, and @samp{\M-} can be used as a prefix for
-a Meta character, as in @samp{\M-a} for @kbd{Meta-A} or @samp{\M-\C-a} for
-@kbd{Control-Meta-A}.
