Even though I'm not having this problem on Linux, I hope someone has an 
answer.  I have a system (AIX) where I have no choice but to use xemacs 
instead of emacs.  For some reason unknown to me, xemacs using mapping the
Esc key to it's "meta"  which I absolutely cannot get used to.  I've used 
xev to look at the X Keysyms.  How do I tell xemacs to map the X Keysym
Meta_L to it's interpretation of meta?  I checked the xemacs.org website 
and haven't hit on the right thing yet.

Also, xemacs is giving me a warning about Meta_R being mapped to mod1 and mod2
which is not what "xmodmap -pm" says.
