That's not true. I'm using the compose key as a meta key right now, on a DECstation 3100. I've been able to use the compose key as a meta key even on a MicroVax running VMS. You might have to run xmodmap to make the keyboard work that way, but I don't remember that being a problem. As far as I can remember from before I'd set up my xmodmap, the compose key still worked as a meta key - it just screwed things up if I happened to be in the wrong window. On VMS, I had to actually hack emacs to run in its own window, it works fine now. _MelloN_
