I tried this in BeOS using BeOS:Applications:Terminal and discovered that
none of the Alt keys work (!).  This is definitely the fault of the
terminal.  Maybe there is a better one available that you can download?

When you run keytest and hit Alt+A you should preferably see:

'^[' ==   27 (0x001b)
'a' ==   97 (0x0061)

Or some sort of output, anyway.  The BeOS seems to want to steal the Alt
keys for its own purposes.
