I'm using OS X's pre-installed emacs (gnu 21.1.1), and I've done this, 
but it's not working quite right. Commands that start with "C-" work 
fine, commands that start with "M-" work fine, but when I hold down 
both Ctrl and Meta, the Ctrl is ignored.  For instance, if I try to run 
mark-sexp using C-M-@, Emacs interprets it as M-@, which is bound to 
mark-word.  Using ESC C-@ instead seems to work fine, it's just a pain 
to type. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? Does anyone else using 
the same setup even see this behavior? I haven't been able to find any 
mention of it.

Thanks,
Matt
