Meta-anything is treated as the -anything without the Meta in emacs on
the console.
Sample entry from /etc/ttys:
ttyv0	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		vt220	on secure

Initially, these were
ttyv0	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		pcvt25	on secure
but this results in Num Lock being gratuitously turned on all over the
place, which my laptop does not appreciate.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Tom
