Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to use the meta key in an
xterm. Mostly I would like to be able to use emacs in the xterm
(option -nw) and use the key bindings to meta without using esc.
I am using SunOS 4.1.4, X11, tcsh
Thanks,
Brice

Depends on the xterm, and the keyboard settings. You might get more help
in the X newsgroups.
[Works perfectly for me, with XFree86 3.2 (X11R6.1).]

1. meta key doesn't work in xterms with Redhat-6.0
Just installed Redhat-6.0. The Meta key no longer works in bash in xterms
(i.e. the Alt Key of PC keyboards). It works ok in Redhat-5.2. The
xterms seem to be producing 8-bit characters now, which I definitely
don't want. Any idea how to fix it? (Using the Escape key isn't the answer!)
