I think you also have to define the alt-keys somehow in the Terminal Resource File. I have not had a chance to play with that though. When I did the above in our application It would trigger the button press event when the X key was pressed not Alt-X. So I don't think that is *ALL* you have to do. Check out the help page for the Accelerator property.
