Possibly. In doing some Ncurses development recently I found a range of keycodes being sent to an application by the various terminals. Alt-keys seemed to be consistent amongst them except with Xterm. I left rxvt alone. ;-) As for defining the keys, I shied away once dealing with terminfo was involved. I think it would be easier to configure Emacs. Wouldn't ~/.inputrc be the place to do that? I haven't looked yet. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
