Help!.  Does anyone know how to change the keyboard configuration of the
mac?.  I can work around most of the oddities, but  OPTION-I (for
example) doesn't generate a generate a keyboard event because it is
mapped to an accent character.  What I would like is to remap the
keyboard so that OPTION-KEY generates the same thing as KEY.

My motivation is to use the OPTION key as an ersatz META key for emacs.
So far I have this working for everything but OPTION-{c,eiun} and I'm
now stuck.    Inside Macintosh is no help, it says the info will be
available in the next draft.

If I get a response to this query I will summarize the answer to this
newsgroup, so please don't send me **me too** requests.

Thanks,
