Since emacs expects meta characters to be the same as a normal characters, but with the high bit set, one could, in theory, get meta characters with the option key already, but they likely come out scrambled. But by rearranging things with a new KMAP, it should be possible. Of course, your terminal emulator might be too smart for it's own good, and filter out these characters, in which case you'll need another scheme. Or another terminal emulator. --Tom Lippincott ..ucbvax!math!lippin "If I went about claiming supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!" --Dennis

If you pull down the ``Configure'' menu in uw, and select ``Keyboard'', it will let you make the option key work as a Mac option key or as a META key. I have not tried this myself; I can't use emacs. ---- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: seismo!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 333-3339
