Dear (X)Emacs gods,

First of all, apologies for posting non-ESS specific question.  I couldn't
find a suitable XEmacs mailing list.

I use XEmacs under Linux Mandrake 8.2.  For some strange reasons, XEmacs
would read the Alt key as "alt", rather than the meta key.  I have no such
problem with Emacs on the same machine(s).  Can some kind soul tell me how
to make XEmacs recognize alt as meta?

Much appreciated for any help!!

Andy
