A group of us a PHRI have recently purchased Mac+s to use at home, and also
to use as terminals at home with our Vax/UNIX system. We will also be
using one at work, which will probably be used as a terminal most of the
time. My question (probably dumb, but I've only owned the Mac for a
week :-) is this: Is there a way to change the "Option" key into an
<Esc> or Meta key while doing UNIX applications? This is especially
important when using EMACS, since, to get an <Esc> character, you have
to type "Control" "[". Since the Meta (or Escape) keystroke is fairly
frequently used when editing in EMACS, it would be useful to be able to
do this in one keystroke.
Thanks for any help. Please send any advice by E-mail.
