And btw, why do you use MetaSendEscape:false with these emulators?  It
sounds like if you set MetaSendEscape:true, your problems will be
solved, no?  FWIW, this is how I use terminal emulators here, for many
years, including with non-ASCII input (and of course Meta-characters),
and I have yet to see a single problem.
