The close Emacs get to the GUI guidelines for MS Windows the less they 
need that. The very first problem I stumbled on with Emacs was that it 
sometimes stole my Alt key. And sometimes when I wanted it to steel it 
id did not. With my patches I try to give that key back to the users and 
give them another Meta key.

Eh, ... and I had to steele at least one of the windows keys instead. 
That is because I do not want to look too friendly.
