   Also, it'd be neat and nifty if you could hold down the closed apple key
   and get the 'meta' key sent....

This is possible with z-link... Z-link offer the capapbility to map
any closed apple/normal key pair to a string of characters.  The Meta
key usually just prepends an escape character to the normal character
that you type... It is a simple matter to add a closed apple/key macro
for every normal key on the apple // keyboard and voila!  you've got a
meta key...
