   Now, my current problem is:  how do I do the same thing when I access the
   Unix machine using X-windows?  I've had to resort to ESC-X instead of M-X.
   :(  I'm sure it's in the X docs somewhere, but I haven't taken the time to
   drag myself through them yet.

If Emacs is running in its own X window, it should recognize the Meta key
directly.  I've never had any problem with this, going as far back as X10
and the MIT Lispm X server.

If you're running the Emacs inside an xterm window, I don't know offhand
how to make the Meta key go through.  But why are you running Emacs this
way?
