Me too :-)

On my Box this is working without problems, you can set the meta key
with the "-mod" option. I my case this would be rxvt -mod mod1.

I always compile rxvt "--with-term=rxvt", because i found out that all
my console apps are working good with this, but you can also set this
with the "-tn" option of rxvt. I can confirm that in Midnight Commander
the Shift-FN keys are working but i never used them in jed. Is there a
mode in jed that use this combinations? I use the emacs-emulation.

I think there is always some kind of voodoo-magic involved how the
terminal keys are working, because on some machines there are working
and on some they don't :-) Just for the record i use Linux Crux-1.0
rxvt 2.7.10 and ncurses 5.3 (the terminfo base for rxvt).

I hope this info can help you at least a little bit.

Ciao Vincenzo
