i would like to use meta keys (as opposed to ESC-<key> combos)
in bash, since i am used to using them in emacs and things..

it seems that readline currently does not except 8 bit chars
(meta chars).  is there a fix for this?  make all chars unsigned?
some stty command to pass 8 bit chars?  

am i the only one?  i have not seen anything on this subject.

thanks..
