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.
Those can be done via resource-settings, e.g. in your $HOME/.Xdefaults,
or in /etc/X11/app-defaults
