I have downloaded MicroEMACS ver 3.9 from the simtel archive,
but It makes me hit ESC then X for M-X.  
I would much rather hit the ALT and X at the same time, like on unix
(on a SUN the LEFT and RIGHT keys are the same as the ALT key)

I have seen 4 different versions of EMACS for the PC, and I want to
settle with one. microEMACS looks like the best to me.

If someone can tell me how to fix the alt key or tell me of a better
emacs for IBM PC compatables, I would greatly appriciate it.
