Depends pretty strongly on what sort of keyboard you are using on what
sort of machine. Is this an Amiga? A PC? A Sun? And for each of those,
what keyboard are we talking about, and are you running under X or
not?

If this is a PC, under X ALT might work, it probably won't work in an
xterm rather than emacs under X directly, and on the console it
depends on what flavor of console....
