I'm using this little script at login time:
----snip---
#!/bin/sh
cat <<EOF |xmodmap -
clear mod1
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
keycode 113 = Alt_L
clear mod4
add mod1 = Meta_L
EOF

This is on an iBook, but should work the same on your TiBook:
the (left) "alt" key is used just like in MacOS (eg. alt+L gives "@"),
whereas the command keys are Meta_L. (yes, they _both_ give the _left_
Meta key, due to a hardware restriction, I guess).
Other people prefer to remap KP_Enter to Mode_switch...
HTH,
Siggi
