I don't think there's any correct way to send Meta keys. Terminals don't support the Meta information (except with a 7-bit character set like ASCII, in which case the information can be stored in the 8th bit -- this is what "XTerm*metaSendsEscape: false" does on Xterm). But you can use the Meta key to provide some other information, like typing the Escape key (this is what "XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true" does). Anyway this is just a matter of choice. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn / RISC OS / ARM, free software, YP17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
