Thanks for the input, all. I did discover after posting this that vSSH
has a setting to make 'Alt' act as the meta key. The Apple Smart
Keyboard Cover doesn't actually have an Alt key, but ... lo and behold
... it works with the Option key! This is great for me, since it's the
same key I use for meta on my Macs, so no re-learning is required. (I
did not find an option like this in the Prompt app, though it may be
there somewhere.)
For now, this seems an adequate, though not ideal, solution. I'll have
to use it more to see how well it works for authoring blog posts.
One irksome limitation of any ssh solution is that I can't just export
my org files to HTML and preview the results automatically. I'm sure
I'll find other issues as I start using this workflow more heavily.
Thanks,
