Thank you.
I got your X-fu and my X-fu working (trying one, then the other) so
both ways work, doing the following:
Update the Xresources and inputrc files as appropriate.
Start a new xterm.
This xterm won't work - even running the following command is not
enough to make this new xterm work:
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources; bind ~/.inputrc
However, even with NOT running the above command, open a new xterm
from that xterm, then the new xterm (the third, as I was editing the
files in the first), DOES work (for C-Left and C-Right).
I am not yet able to test logging out and logging back in or reboot -
I'm guessing that will also do the trick, however for the time being,
I usually work in a screen session, and that is now working
regardless.
It seems xrdb -load and bind are not working as advertised in their
respective manuals.
