There are two keys on my keyboard: One marked with a diamond and the other one with "Alt" letters. Both behave different. So "M-x" and "A-x" give different commands. The usual meta commands like "M-x", "M-q", etc. are bound to the M-key, all the A- seem to be unbound. Is there a way to make emacs use A-key like the meta key?
