Telling Emacs how to use Alt as Meta

2000-12-04 Thread Joerg Johannes
Hi there Emacs is using the windows key as "meta". I'd like to use Alt instead, because I'm used to it from when I was running SuSE and RedHat. Is there an emacs-specific command for the .emacs file to do that? thanks joerg -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you wi

2000-12-04 Thread Carlo U. Segre
Hello All: I wanted to know what the proper way would be to set up firewalling rules in a potato system. Putting the ipfwadm or ipchains lines in /etc/init.d/networking (I have used /etc/init.d/netbase in slink) is the most direct way I can think of but that may not be the "right" way to do it.
