<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
Without argument,
<B>setmetamode</B>
prints the current Meta key mode.
With argument, it sets the Meta key mode as indicated.
The setting before and after the change are reported.

e.g. by
<BR>
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
<BR>
for tty in $INITTY; do
<BR>
setmetamode escprefix &lt; $tty
<BR>
done
