If you have a decent X host on your PC, hold down the ALT key for meta. This should work 100% if 1) your X on your pc is setup to pass the alt to the X app and not to windows. (this is in the input control panel for Exceed for instance). 2) You are running emacs (or Xemacs) as a X app and not in a term. If you are running emacs in a terminal (not as an X app) then you need some cooperation from your xterm. Again, on solaris this should generally map to your alt key for meta. Last resort, pressing escape and then the character you want will work all the time. So, if you want M-f (meta forward) you can either hit ALT-f or ESC f. Make sense? Now back to our emacs/vi proto-flame-fest. - -- - -rupa -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.6, an Emacs/PGP interface iQEVAwUBPHMkXHHDM4ucEopdAQGlawgAvo9MiS+MJS4vLIpqezUCwBAG+qjitbov B4nkgrJHt7T0emtmaN2VVIdR3HwMMTin7AE680b1c36vVqQAET5RUIRArX/n447S CLYA7UqGACiJOkj0ZOr5gvEBthy8z/dhrLEy8/hiatX08mqqKMx5WJ5uT1slWV88 FT26Il7AuWunys++HxSd+4vQ7DMHIEm5ExisUhVkl79S8PFwRXMSHZ5p/TeSkt7H KL8tlNcQTfBYQlP8fAnRkr+p/hmNJ/rAvbZCTUQw9WPtRGLLZcJX8BEqkQHQ2gbW K0xdMylC8jS0+lnpQFrqkr0+pzwKLD1xXt8z9/SuMhV0IVmCZNmmAw== =TaKV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
