       Hi.  I can't figure out how to activate the meta key for my Sparc 1+.
    Rumor says its the diamond key, but I can't get it to work.  It used
    to be left on my sun-3.  I'm not an emacs guru by any means so thank
    you for any advice.

you shouldn't have to "activate" anything.  the diamond keys on the
sparc keyboard are indeed the "meta" keys.  this is true under MIT  X
Window System, and i beleive under SunView.  there may be something
wrong with the installation at your site.  do the sun3's still work
using the Left key as a meta-key?
