Gotcha!
XTerm*VT100*MetaSendsEscape: true/false
does the trick.
My syntax was wrong. Note the XTerm*VT100* in the definition of
the xterm. I learned aboput it when trying to understand why I
only saw part of the menu, when presseng Ctrl and one of hte
mouse buttons.
Sorry for the misinformation. X is too complicated for laymen
like me.
Why is sometimes the default true and sometimes false is beyond
me. But it can be corrected afterwards.
Cheers, Avraham
