It is mac specific (see the P.S.)

C-RET isn't recognized by the "carbon" mac distribution.   This is 
because the mac version treats RET as a standard ascii character and 
not as a special "X Key Code".  So when it tries to apply the ctrl to 
RET is sees C-m and so interprets it as C-C-m.  So the first C- is lost

The solution is to make RET appear to be a non-ascii character (then it 
becomes <return>).  This is what happens on X-windows as you have 
noted.  To do this, modify macterm.c:keycode_to_xkeysym_table[] to 
start like this (where keycode 0x24 is mapped to Xkeysym 0xff0d)

static unsigned char keycode_to_xkeysym_table[] = {
/* 0x00 - 0x3f */
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,	0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
   0, 0, 0, 0, '\x0d', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

Then you need to have emacs recognize the the new key [return] is 
actually C-m.  So add these to lisp/term/mac-win.el or to your .emacs 
file

(define-key function-key-map [return] [?\C-m])
(define-key function-key-map [M-return] [?\M-\C-m])
(put 'return 'ascii-character 13)

Should this be put in the main distribution?  Should this be done for 
other chars like escape and tab?
