I just upgraded my RS2030 to RiscOS 4.52 and RiscWindows 4.00, and my
the "Alt" doesn't work (ie it doesn't set the eighth bit) in xterms.
It does work in emacs windows (though not in emacs inside an xterm).

This is true both of local and remote (Sun) xterms.  I don't have this
problem when using a Sun as the server.  pass8 appears to be set for
the xterm's pty.

Can someone suggest what's wrong?
