I'm having the same trouble with my Alt key after moving from Windows
NT to XP.  It does not seem to recognize the Alt key. I'm using V
21.2.1.  I'm wondering if XP is somethow preempting the use of the Alt
key.

I tried the suggested c-q ALT, but got nothing on the screen. Thanks
for any suggestions.
