Ok... here's the magic.  One must do BOTH sets of Alt/Meta (L and R)
to make it work under the shell (xterm) and in XEmacs, and Netscape.

In my .Xmodmap file I added:

keysym Alt_L = Meta_L
keysym Meta_L = Alt_L
keysym Alt_R = Meta_R
keysym Meta_R = Alt_R

And it did the trick next time I logged in.  Thanks for getting me
started on the right path.  My fingers are much happier now. ;-)
