Where is (which is [?]) the Alt key on my VAXstation 2000?

    And Compose is ALT SPACE, obviously!

549.3How about on the DECstation 3100 (aka PMAX)?R2ME2::MULLENDan Mullen, Run-Time Libraries.Tue Jul 18 1989 15:1415
Hitting the compose key with the PMAX server usually gets me the compose
function (i.e. the compose light comes on).  Other times nothing at all happens.

I've looked in the docs and asked some knowledgable people in my group but no
one knows what the ALT key should be for the PMAX.

Also, SHIFT-, and SHIFT-. gets me "<" and ">" respectively, regardless of what
application I'm running (even with it customized to be "," and "." in DECterm).

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S.  I'm running SDC UWS 2.0
