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.
