Depending on your kernel, your configuration and the phase of the moon,
the <alt> key is sometimes the key labelled "alt" and sometimes the
"apple" key (aka "command"). And sometimes it is completely disabled.

In X, you use control-command-fnX, and on the i- and powerbooks you have
to press the keys in a certain order to make it work (first
control-command, then fn, then fnX, IIRC).
