Hi David,

please don't use individual developers for usage help.  Please address
usage questions to the newsgroup comp.emacs.xemacs or
[email protected] so that others benefit as well.

When I press
C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp) at the end of following line:
(global-set-key [C-f1] 'bookmark-set)
I get:

Invalid (FSF Emacs) key format (see doc of define-key): C-f1

Isn't this enough to solve your problem?

Don't read beyond this line before looking up C-h f define-key :-)

(global-set-key [(control f1)] 'bookmark-set)
works for me.

Best regards,

Adrian
