Using Alt in xterm



One program I use (frotz) runs in an xterm and uses Alt-(various
keys).  The program ran fine on my old redhat system, but on this setup,
Alt-U (or other key) simply registers as U.  It works fine in character
mode, though.  Any ideas how to get it to work in X?

(from my ~/.Xdefaults file)
*eightBitInput:                 true
*metaSendsEscape:               true
XTerm*metaSendsEscape:          true
XTerm*eightBitInput:            true



(from my ~/.xmodmap)
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
keycode 115 = Meta_L 
clear mod1
add mod1 = Meta_L
clear mod3
add mod3 = Mode_switch



Does anybody know how to get this to work correctly?
