Hi,

I cannot execute commands using the Alt key. For example, whenever I
press, Alt -. I get a zero instead of the previous command. This is
also a problem whenever I run emacs inside xterm. Alt-w produces a ÷
(division symbol) instead of executing a copy region command. Also
Alt-x doesn't give the extended command mini-buffer, but instead
produces a ø (strike through o).

I do not expreience this problem whenever I run the Cygwin Bash Shell,
which I suppose makes sense.

I have read TFM, and it says I need to include the following information:

In man xterm, see "eightBitInput" and "metaSendsEscape".
