Get Emacs2.0 which is a frontend for your emacs. I think i found it on
cs.orst.edu or {nova,sonata}.cc.purdue.edu. Emacs2.0 uses ALT as META,
you can use the mouse to set the cusor to any point, and you can use
CMD-{X,C,V,Z} to do what you expcet from it.
My problem is, that this is not of much use in Germany where we have to
type eg 'ALT-8' to get '['.
