Any key that generates a unique scan can be mapped to send anything
you want. Unfortunately, for historical reasons, in OS/2 C-Kermit,
Ctrl-Alt combos generate exactly the same scan codes as Alt combos
by themselves. So you can't use the Alt key as a Meta key when
control characters are involved. The closest mapping we could come
up with is given in the EMACSKEYS.INI file that comes with OS/2
C-Kermit.
Yes, it would be possible to expand the range of scan codes, but not
without changing some of the current ones, which would break
current key mappings.
A solution for this problem is on our list for future releases.
