[OS X Emacs] How to successfully pass MacOS shortcuts out of aquamacs

[Sandy C]

Thanks - that works great!

FYI - this might be what you mean, but the Aquamacs menu bar CMD-ALT-H works but the keyboard shortcut does not.

Side extra credit question - is there a FAQ/wiki/doc that describes how aquamacs interacts with MacOS keyboard 'chord' (keyboard shortcut/sequence) wise?  As which has precedence?  Curiosity only - no need to reply with the explanation in email.

Thanks!

However, pressing CMD-ALT-H results in a "CMD-ALT-H is undefined" in the emacs message window.  CMD-ALT-H is the default MacOS keyboard shortcut to hide all other applications.
