Hi,

this looks like it is going to be a question for a MacX guru, as no one
else seems
to know the answer :-)

In MacX does the option key have a keycode ?  ie can you redefine the
option key
using xmodmap ?   I have had no luck hacking around with xev and xmodmap
myself.  does MacX grab the option key for itself and not pass it on ?

What I would like to do is make option into a meta key, instead of having
to 
use the up arrow key like it is at the moment.  From what I've seen and
heard
it seems like this isn't possible, which is a *real* bummer.

thanks for any info,

Richard

PS - can you do this with eXodus ??
