In XTerm, hold down the control-key and then the left mouse button. A menu should pop up that includes the entry "Meta Sends Escape". It should be unchecked right now. Select it and release the mouse button, then see whether the behavior of your alt key is the way you want it. If yes, then you just need to set the XTerm*altSendsEscape resource in whatever file you use to control your X resources. Philip Guenther
