I am running FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a Pentium 75 with 16 Mb of RAM. My question is about the Emacs editor. When I run Emacs, my <ALT> key does not work as my <META> key. Instead, I am forced to use my <ESC> key. I prefer using the <ALT>. When I use Emacs under Linux on the same machine, I can use the <ALT> without problems. How would I go about changing things so that Emacs recognizes my <ALT> key. I think that it might have to do with keyboard mappings or translations under FreeBSD. I would greatly appreciate help with this annoying problem as Emacs is my primary editor. Thanks a ton.
