[comp.terminals] Meta-key on a Dec Rainbow

marsh@cs.rochester.edu (Brian Marsh) (05/10/89)

I have a dec rainbow I use in terminal mode to login from
home.  I would like to remap the compose-character key to
a meta-key; that is, pressing the compose-character would
set the high bit in the character sent to the host.  The
idea is to get a meta character for emacs that is more 
conveniently located than the  escape key.  Can anyone
shed some light on how to do the remapping?  Pressing the
key currently generates a local beep, but no characters
are sent downline.

Thanks,
	Brian
