I have never found my meta key... Are you using X or console mode? In X, you
can edit your XTerm file and map the help key to whatever you want. The file
gets installed (on Red Hat at least) in /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm
Simply add a line for the key you want to map. I put mine on the Esc key for
convenience, so my XTerm has:
<Key>Escape: string("\033\110") \n\
I don't know how to map with the Alt key pressed, though. And I'm not familiar
with console mode keymapping - but Alt-F1 is used to switch to virtual terminal
1, so you probably wouldn't want to remap that anyway.

Yes, it works for me. Pressing CTRL-C brings up the sysrq menu as if you had
pressed SysRq then Enter on a regular terminal (or Client Access).
