Using Alt in a terminal

[davenger at trading.bg]

FreeBSD 4.9


How can I fix the Alt key?
I have to use Esc all the time... :(
I'm used to switching windows in IRC clients with Alt+digit.

emacs....... :(

And what about xterm?
That's my ~/.Xresources file:

XTerm*eightBitInput:   false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
rxvt*modifier: alt

It fixed rxvt, but xterm has the same problem as terminals


(forgive me, but i'm not very good in English as you can see:)
