GNU under OpenWindows

A while ago Jeff Peck posted a version of sun/term.el that he uses
under OpenWindows.  I have a very basic and naive question about
GNU and OW:  Our group is just converting from Sunview to OpenWindows
(on SPARC2s); when I use GNU under OW (even with Jeff's term.el),
I have 2 problems:
(1) The META key doesn't do anything (i.e., META-b is no longer
backward-word, but just plain vanilla "b"), although ESC-b works fine.
(2) The function keys F1...F12 don't do anything either.

Needless to say, all of this worked just fine with the same version
of GNU under Sunview.  Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Thanks.
