I am assuming here that Russ means Esc Esc d? Since M-d or Esc d is two
keys as is a shifted $. I also just double checked my setup , a tmux
with a urxvt running bash opened, sshd into a remote debian ran emacs
-nw and M-d works in that set up too. The wonders of different systems
and something as convoluted as termcap I guess.
