Telling Emacs how to use Alt as Meta

[Joerg Johannes <liste_joerg@gmx.de>]

Hi there

Emacs is using the windows key as "meta". I'd like to use Alt instead,
because I'm used to it from when I was running SuSE and RedHat. Is there
an emacs-specific command for the .emacs file to do that?

thanks  
joerg

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
