What is it you _want_ to have happen, when you type M-0034?
Why is it you can't just type "?
I guess Dragon Naturally Speaking will also monitor the key events,
and pronounce the character?
Do you want Emacs to then insert the corresponding character into the
current buffer?

Just doing some testing, on my keyboard (Windows NT 4.0 SP3,
English/US), when I hit M-kp-0, Emacs says "M-kp-0 is undefined". If
you want to define the sequence M-kp-0 M-kp-0 M-kp-3 M-kp-4 to mean
"insert double-quote", that's pretty easy.

Do you mean Emacs does not see the left-alt key?
