Paraphrasing my .emacs: (cond ((eq window-system 'ns) (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta) (setq mac-option-modifier 'none)) ((and (eq window-system 'mac) (boundp 'aquamacs-version)) (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta) (setq mac-option-modifier nil))) Putting this in ~/.emacs should fix the problem, at least for two fairly common emacsen. (I have no idea what is needed with carbon emacs, nor even how to recognize that version from elisp.) -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell
