But all promoting or demoting commands do not work as advertised.
I get i.e. ESC S-right undefined etc.


Alt-S-right seems to work for me while Esc-S-right just beeps.
Perhaps that and this excerpt from emacs info will help to clear things up?

   Another Emacs character-set extension is additional modifier bits.
Only one modifier bit is commonly used; it is called Meta.  Every
character has a Meta variant; examples include `Meta-a' (normally
written `M-a', for short), `M-A' (not the same character as `M-a', but
those two characters normally have the same meaning in Emacs),
`M-RET', and `M-C-a'.  For reasons of tradition, we usually write
`C-M-a' rather than `M-C-a'; logically speaking, the order in which the
modifier keys CTRL and META are mentioned does not matter.

   Some terminals have a META key, and allow you to type Meta
characters by holding this key down.  Thus, `Meta-a' is typed by
holding down META and pressing `a'.  The META key works much like
the SHIFT key.  Such a key is not always labeled META, however, as
this function is often a special option for a key with some other
primary purpose.  Sometimes it is labeled ALT or EDIT; on a Sun
keyboard, it may have a diamond on it.

   If there is no META key, you can still type Meta characters using
two-character sequences starting with ESC.  Thus, you can enter `M-a'
by typing `ESC a'.  You can enter `C-M-a' by typing `ESC C-a'.
ESC is allowed on terminals with META keys, too, in case you have
formed a habit of using it.

 ESC-S centers next paragraph. Nice but unexpected for me. ;-)

Although ESC can usually be used as a synonym for Meta, this is not
always true. In particular, you can't combine ESC with shifted arrow
keys. You have to use Meta-Shift-right (all keys at once), where Meta
may actually be labelled as Alt or (heavens forbid) the Windows key on
your keyboard.

And the S in S-right is not the letter S, it is the shift key...

I'm assuming you are running emacs graphically, not inside a terminal.

Hope this helps

Will
