Is there a way to get 'alt' key compose functionality working with the
MacOS drawterm? I have X11 configured to pass treat the 'command' key
as the ALT modifier, and this works with other programs, but drawterm
seems to ignore it. I.e. pressing CMD-a generates a plain 'a'.

Drawterm is hoping for XK_Alt_L or XK_Alt_R.
Maybe you are sending XK_Meta_* or XK_Super_* instead?

in addition to the above, there's a source (perhaps old?) for drawterm
around which doesn't have the latin1.c file and doesn't know what to
do with alt key combinations. if that's the source used to compile
the MacOSX binary then it may need some minor modifications in
devcon[s].c and xkeyboard(), plus the addition of latin1.c.

don't know about drawterm, but the other stuff works fine if you use the
apple thingy as the compose key.

only problem i have is that Alt-Gr [compose] sometimes needs
a space after the char, otherwise i get peter.
