This might be a bit expensive as terminals go, but Sun 3's have a true meta-key. I was pleasantly suprised to see that the 'alt' key (I think thats what it was labelled) turned on the meta (aka parity) bit of a char. They also map Control-spacebar to send ^@ like any civilized terminal. (Unlike this cretinous Wyse-99 which tries to get you to break your fingers by typing control-shift-2.) -- Wolfgang Rupprecht UUCP: mit-eddie!mgm.mit.edu!wolfgang (or) mirror!mit-mgm!wolfgang ARPA: wolfgang@mgm.mit.edu (IP addr 18.82.0.114)
