How would you do it? I don't know of other environments than Sun and COTS PC's. On the PC's I run there is _always_ a Windows-key on the left-hand side of the keyboard between Ctrl and Alt. This key in XFree86 is mapped to Alt, whereas the actual Alt is mapped to Meta (or if it is the other way around). I'm not suggesting this is the best solution, but it actually works - and might be suitable for us that want to see Emacs as a useful environment for both documenting (LaTeX/TeXinfo/RTF) and programming (M-g => goto-line). I know I do. /Joachim
