I took a while to play around. One thing you may need to
do is set the TERM environment variable to a proper, more
capable, terminal (such as "cygwin").
Beyond that, I found that I needed to:
set convert-meta on
in my .inputrc and also to write the escape sequences as
(for example):
"\M-b": "echo meta b"
Note: *one* backslash, not two!
