I am using emacs on a PC in linux and also via ssh shell accout at my
isp (linux).  In the X window version of emacs I am accutomed to
having both the right and left alt keys function as meta.  But when
using tty version of emacs both at home and ISP only the left alt key
functions as meta.  How do I fix it so with tty both alt keys are
bound such that they can be used in meta command combinations?
