It works on my machine, running GNU emacs 18.5[12].  I must admit, however,
that having a Meta key helps some...(a '386 running XENIX [surprise,
surprise, right?], with the mapkey file someone posted, modified to work
with the Latest and Greatest release of XENIX.  I'm saying all of this for
line-filler stuff).

I never really liked the ESC-as-pseudo-Meta, anyway.
