Start info, go to Emacs, then to User Input. It is mentioned near the end of that node: ,----(excerpt of: info: Emacs: User Input) | If your keyboard lacks one of these modifier keys, you can enter it | using `C-x @': `C-x @ h' adds the "hyper" flag to the next character, | `C-x @ s' adds the "super" flag, and `C-x @ a' adds the "alt" flag. | For instance, `C-x @ h C-a' is a way to enter `Hyper-Control-a'. | (Unfortunately there is no way to add two modifiers by using `C-x @' | twice for the same character, because the first one goes to work on | the `C-x'.) `---- -JimC -- James Cloos
