It *might* be of some use if you were to mention what precisely what behavior you were wanting/expecting from that particular key combination. After all, the VT-100s I've seen don't even *have* an "Alt" key. >Instead, I have to hit escape, backspace. Well, that would accomplish an "escape sequence," which may or may not have any relation to anything else. >Not only is it annoying, but in Emacs, the annoyance becomes a problem.
