I have never been able to make this work, so I ended up doing:

"^[[5~": backward-word 
"^[[6~": forward-word  

That is, binding "page up" and "page down" keys to this. As a result I'm
constantly pressing "page up" and "page down" in emacs, when I'm not
supposed to :-(.

I also bind'ed:

"^[[4~": end-of-line

My "end" key, but this do not work in rxvt on cygwin, but fine in rxvt
on Linux. It just produces a '~'?? I have set the TERM=rxvt.
