I found that too. I found that if I installed using the PC104 keyboard instead of the PC102 keyboard that ALT was no longer a meta key. But the "Windows" key was the meta key! Apparently someone thought they would use that extra key as a meta key and moved it off of the ALT key. The bad thing I see is that selecting PC102 or PC104 actually causes different keys to be mapped as the meta key. Does the "Windows" key work as a meta key for you? Bob
