[ROOT] TRint command line editing

Dear ROOT developers,

since I don't have that fancy "Meta" key on my keyboard, I cannot use the 

M-F/M-B : Move cursor forward/backward one word.
M-D     : Delete the word under the cursor.

as it is described in C_Getline.c

I'd really like to use this facility, so could you add support for going
forward/backward one word without the "Meta" key? I know that e.g. tcsh
does it by

            EMACS Multi-character and 8 bit bindings
            "^[F"  or "M-F"          ->  forward-word
            "^[B"  or "M-B"          ->  backward-word

This means that pressing "ESC" before F imitates the "Meta" key. Could
this be a possibility?

Thanks in advance,

Martin
