I sure wish I could see this behavior. In emacs, I hit Alt-<key>, and only <key> shows up. In bash, I hit Alt-<key>, and I get Alt-<key>, same with jove (after turning "meta-key" on, before that, I got <key> with the high-bit set). Emacs has too many nice features to leave it behind (works well with gcc, gdb, etc..) When I do an apropos on meta, just a few functions show up, but this is probably wandering too far off topic (I'll go search out the emacs newsgroup). -- Zach Heilig | If this was a virus, zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com | you would be dead now.
