Using command as ctrl in a Mac OS X terminal [closed]

I'd like to have my command key work as a ctrl key in the Mac OS X terminal. That is, I want "command-c" to do the same thing as "ctrl-c". Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Specifically, I would really like this to work in emacs. Emacs uses a LOT of ctrl key bindings and reaching for the control key is beginning to strain my wrists. You may say that the command key is actually harder to reach, but I've swapped the command key and the caps-lock key on my MacBook Pro to make that easier.

Any help is appreciated!

You could (in Leopard) map the Caps Lock key to act as control for all apps.

System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->keyboard Modifier Keys button at bottom
