	I just got my hands on a terminal which has a key that can be enabled
as a meta key.  Unfortunately, the net I use to connect to the emacs "server"
is limited to seven bit characters, so the emacs server never sees the 8th bit
set.  The terminal can also set this pseudo-meta key to send a control-A before
a key pressed in conjunction with it.  It appears I could use this, setting up
some form of keymap, probably with the function setup-terminal-keymap.  I guess
what I'd like to do is copy the functionality of the "meta keymap" to another
keymap, without destroying the meta keymap.  Am I totally off-base here, or
can I really do this?  If this is possible, how?  Please reply directly to me.

							Much obliged,
							    Mike
