> In man xterm, see "eightBitInput" and "metaSendsEscape".
Thanks, that lead me to this solution: > xterm->Main Menu->Meta Sends Escape and now alt behaves as it should (Why isn't this the default setting?!?) Is there someway to set xterm to always have 'Meta Sends Escape' enabled? Also, I would prefer if the 'Reverse Video' option is enabled (i.e. xterm with a black background). This can be set from: > xterm->VT Options->Enable Reverse Video I have to enable this each time I start xterm, and I would prefer it if xterm would start with this enabled.
