You have to go to terminal preferences and set the option for alternate key behavior. Either the default changed, or 3.0 changes it back. I have to go home and look up the exact option, but you can probably intuit it. I think it is under VT100 options, or something like that, and there are two choices dealing specifically with the alternate ky. Change it to the one not selected, than apply it to any open terminal windows, and set it as the default. (This preference panel also has options for VT100 stuff).
