Subject: Re: emacs meta key
Here are my the contents of my .xinitrc and .Xmodmap files, which I
think are the relevant ones to make this work (it also makes the
command key the alt-key).
I have emacs21 installed from fink and Apple's x11.
contents of .xinitrc
source /sw/bin/init.sh

xrdb -merge $sysresources

xmodmap $sysmodmap

xrdb -merge $userresources

contents of .Xmodmap
keycode 66 = Meta_L
keycode 63 = Alt_L

Hi.
I'm running emacs21-xaw3d(from fink) under apple's X11 and cannot
figure out how to set the option key as meta. Has anyone discovered
a solution to this problem yet? Thanks.
