If you are using X then xterm will (with the right settings) return chara= cters with the 8th bit set when pressed together with a Meta key. You need to u= se xmodmap to install a Meta key or keys and make it(them) a modifier key. Read man xterm; man xmodmap Some other applications might have similar capability to xterm; others wi= ll get their input via xterm when called therefrom. Malcolm=20
