Hi. Running SCO Unix 3.2.4 and Emacs 19.19: I can't seem to
get 8th-bit-set chars to be anything other than self-insert-command.
I told the computer through it's set-input-mode command that I
am using high-bit chars for the alt-key, but when I list the
key bindings \240-377 are self-insert-command. When I unbind
the keys, they simply don't do anything.

So, how do I tell it that those keys should be meta-keys?

Thanks,

Doug
