hi. 

i was in olcr, and was trying to forward a question into the pickup
queue with the command:

	olcr> f 0s pickup
	Specified instance id "pickup" is not a number.
	Segmentation violation

i mis-typed the "-s" option as "0s" and as you see got a segmentation
violation.  This was with user ras, as shown below:

-dan

Question:
I am using ProComm on a PC, emulating a VT100 terminal.  The problem is that
alt-(various keys) has meaning to ProComm, so I can't really use alt as a Meta
key.  Do you know of anything I can do to solve the problem?  I think I can
reconfigure keys in ProComm (but I'm not sure), so the value of Meta would
be helpful information.  Some other key or string which acts as a Meta would
also be great.
