Thanks! Sounds like it's working for you. Maybe someone can tell me what
I'm doing wrong. I enter in the following into my .emacs:
;; Use the option key for META
(setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil)
:: :: Bind idlwave-complete to ESC TAB, which also works for Meta-Tab when
;; Meta is set to Option
(add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key idlwave-mode-map "\M-\C-i" 'idlwave-complete)))

The option key part definitely works because I've been using that for a
while. When I start up Emacs I get the following error:
An error has occurred while loading `/Users/rcohen/.emacs':

Symbol's
value as variable is void: Bind

To ensure normal operation, you should
investigate the cause
of the error in your initialization file and
remove it. Start
Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a
complete error
backtrace

Is there a syntax error someone sees in the binding above to idlwave-
complete?

TIA,
Rob
