but user beware! command-Q still quits out of terminal, rather than do
M-Q.  Also you can enable the eighth bit over the net by using the -8
flag on rlogin(1).  So you can use your meta (command) key on foreign
machines.

Still on the emacs thread, has anyone forked out the $150 dollars for
the GNU sources, and if so can they make them available via anonymous ftp?
At the very least the next specific stuff needed to build emacs.  I'd like
to get X support running on my emacs.
