I can't seem to get the Alt key to function as a Meta-key so that I can  
take advantage of the emacs functions in tcsh.  I have set the  
Preferences in Terminal.app to both settings (Alt key generates Escape  
sequences, or Alt key generates special characters), yet neither seems  
to work.  This used to work fine with my old monochrome monitor and  
keyboard, but the ADB-compatible monitor and keyboard doesn't seem to  
support this feature.  
  Does anyone know what the problem is? (I have "set editmode = emacs"  
in my .cshrc).  Thanks for replying.
Ed
