I am currently dealing with figuring this out myself, but for me it's low priority right now. However, I do have an excellent workaround if your goal is to get a sensible emacs. Assuming, that your PI has Xsgi running on it, and the X development kit, just build emacs to run under X. I tried this, and to my astonishment the alt-key worked as the meta-key with no prodding on my part. Then the rest of your changes become somewhat standard emacs hacks (see gnu.emacs for details-don't ask me for help with lisp...) -- Steve Izen: {sun,uunet}!cwjcc!skybridge!izen386!steve / Quote corner: or steve@izen386.math.cwru.edu / or izen@cwru.cwru.edu /-------------------------/ My second bike is a car. | Klein bottle for sale - Inquire within.
