bindkey and 8 bit characters

["Carl Johnson" <carl.johnson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get zsh to understand meta characters so that i can do stuff like ...

bindkey -s '\M-v' 'vi *.{h,cpp}\n'

I know that X is getting the event because i can map meta-key plus up-arrow to
scroll up a line in an xterm, and i know zsh can display meta characters because...

print '\M-v'

prints what i expect...

this is the output of stty...

speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns;
eucw 1:1:0:0, scrw 1:1:0:0:
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = ^@
eol2 = ^@; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; dsusp = ^Y; reprint = ^R
discard = ^O; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -parext

-tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -flusho -pending iexten
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel

i've set the XTerm resource...

*eightBitInput: true

and set the zsh option...

PRINT_EIGHT_BIT

I'm using zsh 4.2.6 (powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0).

Anyone got any clues?
Cheers,
c
