But when I ssh to a distant linux machine and run an emacs 23 session in console mode I don't have any other ways to access meta but by using ESC key which is far from being an ergonomical solution. As this emacs version is compiled for linux, there is no such variable as "mac-command-modifier" and I don't know how to tell emacs (or the console) to use the command key as meta. Any ideas would be just great! Thanks -- Olivier
