Try this:
Start emacs, and go to the *scratch* buffer. Type C-q and then press the
alt key. Something like ^[OC will get displayed. Write that sequence
down. Then add a line in your .emacs file. It will look like this:
(global-set-key "\e[OC" 'event-apply-meta-modifier)
Where the [OC is what ever got displayed when you pressed the alt key,
minus the ^.
Also note that if you are running on MS Windows, the alt key activates the
pull down menus, so alt may not be a good choice if running on Windows.
Hope this helps.
