Thank you. On the non-working system, I type:

M M e, but Emacs displays:

^M ^M E is undefined

(I used '^' for shift arrows)

The next 'e' puts the article in edit mode.

The definitions (and the .gnus.el files) are the same on the two systems:

(defun pm/alter-summary-map ()
  (local-set-key "d" [?M ?M ?e ?e down ?g]))

(defun pm/alter-article-map ()
  (local-set-key "d" "MMeen"))

Thanks,
