 * Runtime problems on character terminals
 
+** The meta key does not work on xterm.
+Typing M-x rings the terminal bell, and inserts a string like ";120~".
+For recent xterm versions (>= 216), Emacs uses xterm's modifyOtherKeys
+feature to generate strings for key combinations that are not
+otherwise usable.  One circumstance in which this can cause problems
+is if you have specified the X resource
+
+  xterm*VT100.Translations

+to contain translations that use the meta key.  Then xterm will not
+use meta in modified function-keys, which confuses Emacs.  To fix

+This happens because GCC finds an incompatible header regex.h
+somewhere on the include path, before the version of regex.h supplied
+with Emacs.  One such incompatible version of regex.h is part of the
+GnuWin32 Regex package.
+
+The solution is to remove the incompatible regex.h from the include
+path, when compiling Emacs.  Alternatively, re-run the configure.bat
+script with the "-isystem C:/GnuWin32/include" switch (adapt for your
+system's place where you keep the GnuWin32 include files) -- this will

+directories.
