Hi Aidan: Beware: top-post follows since this mailing system is quite primitive. And that was the problem; it mangled the patch. I had no problem with the patch that I downloaded by URL, all hunks accepted. And, if you (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) you will have Option as the Meta key. However, the whole purpose is to free the Command key to behave as it does in other applications.

This can easily be done by a keymap (I had posted such a keymap for Carbon Emacs that I can't find anymore). So, for example, you would have Command-q mapped to save-buffers-kill-emacs. But, when you do a C-h k on Command-q you get: q runs `self-insert-command' `self-insert-command' is an interactive built-in function -- loaded from "/usr/local/cvs/xemacs-carbon2/src/cmds.c" (self-insert-command COUNT) Documentation: Insert the character you type. Whichever character you type to run this command is inserted. If a prefix arg COUNT is specified, the character is inserted COUNT times. So, now it just ignores Command all together. We're half way there :0) I also have a request. Can we get rid of the Teddy bear icon? It was kind of cute at first, but I now find it annoying.
