This will work properly if you have your XFILESEARCHPATH variable
set in such a way that xterm can find its application defaults file.
In particular, we have the "allowEightBits" resource set to false in
our application defaults file, so that M-b is converted into ESC b by
xterm. However, "allowEightBits" defaults to true in our binary, so
if the application defaults don't get read, you won't be able to use
M-b.
Note that XFILESEARCHPATH won't need to be set in R4, since the
app-defaults file will be in the default location. In the mean time,
here's what you can put in your .environment file (or whatever):
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /mit/x11/${hosttype}lib/X11/%T/%N:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N
