I will to it this weekend--- it should be easy to do.

Right-- this is just not possible.  I recommend that the return-key or
its equivalent generate a \r character, as is assumed now.  If the
terminal can distinguish between the Ctrl-M and the return-key, and
you want to exploit that difference, then map Ctrl-M to something
other than \r. As stated above, the next version of xjed will extend
the x_set_keysym function to all legal values of the keysym.
