On Sun workstations, we have been able to get the "left" and "right"
shift keys to be recognized as meta keys, by
setting the variable  meta-flag  to  t     as follows:
      (setq meta-flag t)

Here's the documentation for that variable:

Documentation:
*Non-nil means treat 0200 bit in terminal input as Meta bit.

I don't know of any easy way to do this.  On Sun 3's, mouse (and other
such events) are fielded by the Notifier; it seems you would need to
write some additional initialization code for Emacs that would tell
the Notifier to inform Emacs when a mouse key was pressed in the
window that Emacs was running in.
