I have to take that back, their are several spots in man readline that
show way to designate meta key.
M, \M are both shown... neither works here.
However the awk command can be called with
\C-a: "awk 'BEGIN{print () }'"
So I guess its just a matter of figuring out how to designate the Alt
key in .inputrc. I haven't hit on it yet.
