Hello,

I have a problem with Epoch and the "Meta Modifier Key".

First of all the environment:
        Epoch 4.2
        HP 9000 750 HP-UX 8.07
        HP Compiler  (it compiled without any problem)

Epoch running on the HP workstation, everything seems OK when
I work on a Sun or a NCD X terminal.
When I'm on a HP 700, HP 300 or HP X terminal I cannot use
the Meta modifier: I mean I have to do ESC- then X ; I cannot
use  "Extend Char"-x
Under Epoch, this doesn't echo anything.
If the key was merely ignored, it would echo "x".
If the DISPLAY variable isn't set, "Extend Char"-x echoes "l".
I suppose this is a problem with HP keyboards, but what is strange
is that my old emacs 18.55 (or 54) works almost well.
Almost, because it works well in its own X-Window but exhibit the same
strangeness when the DISPLAY variable isn't set.

Any help will be useful.

Thank you

        Jean-Hugues ZORIO

I think this did the trick for my HP 9000/750:

In .profile.personal:

  xmodmap - <<-END
     clear Control
     add Control = Control_L
     clear Mod1
     add Mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R
     keycode 118 = osfBeginLine
  END

Actually, I think the lines you are interested in are the "Mod1" lines.
Just thought I would be 'open'.  :-)
