Someone had posted a complaint about auto-fill (I believe) not
working on micro emacs, and I responded by email that it did work
on mg2a.  That person wrote back saying that he didn't use mg2a
because he needed to use characters with ASCII codes greater than 127
which caused problems with mg2a interpreting them as escaped characters.
Since then, I lost his net address, so I am posting... There is 
a symbol which you #define when compiling mg2a which causes the
ALT key to be interpreted as an ESC (actually 'meta').  You may
be able to use the full character set if you recompile without this
#define - I don't know (I had trouble compiling it with Lattice 5.02
so I didn't test this).
