I typed w32-alt-is-meta into a scratch buffer and hit C-j and got
t
So, I think I have a meta key.
I alt-backspace does what alt-delete does on my keyboard at home (kill
previous word). How I make alt-del do what alt-backspace does?
Thanks,
Ryan

See if w32-alt-is-meta is nil. It should be t but I don't remember when
this was set. It's not in my .emacs.
