[alt.sources.d] tcsh 5.20

Speaking of tcsh 5.20, has anyone else out there had trouble getting the actual
Meta keys to work on Sun 3's & 4's, using the new (5.20.01) version?  The 
scape-prefix-as-meta bindings still work, and "bind" or "bindkey" shows both
those and the Meta-combinations to be bound, but they just don't seem to work
anymore.  They worked for me in 5.19.

Your tty is not set to pass 8 bit characters. Try 'stty pass8'.
Tcsh used to do that automatically in 5.19, but it was decided that it
was bad to play with the tty modes, and let the user choose.
