I want to remove a key binding such as ESC-d and instead put a whole
range of key bindings

ESC-d a
ESC-d b
ESC-d c
etc.

Or remove key binding such as C-d and replace with a whole range of
key bindings such as

C-d a
C-d b
C-d c
etc.

While on this, can anyone tell what function are the keys
C-x C-h bound to although they give all key global bindings.
I could not find what it was bound to using describe-key and
so is a little tricky.

Yes. What is the problem, though? What did you try, what happened
when you tried it, what did you expect to happen?

I think there is hard-wired logic in Emacs so that hitting C-h in an
incomplete key sequence shows you all the possibilities. So hitting
C-h at that spot doesn't invoke a keybinding the normal way.

But now you know what it does, so you don't need describe-key anymore...
