Thanks for the helpful input.
That does the trick for me.. I could not find a way to specify the
`Alt' key (on standard 104 key english qwerty keyboard)
But using your technique things like this work now:
set keymap emacs-meta
a: "awk 'BEGIN{print ( )}'
And so I can call my favorite math calculator again with `Alt+a'
... hehe.
Thanks again.
