Hello,

I am wondering what is happening when I hold down the Alt/Meta key
when I press characters.  If I hit Alt-B+B I get something that looks
like a bomb.  The other keys I've tried just look to double the
character I've pressed.  Can I modify this behaviour so that I can
recognize Alt key combinations?  I'm thinking this is part of the
kernel keyboard driver, am I correct?

I'm trying to modify rio to handle for Alt-F (forward-word) and Alt-B
(backward-word).
