Well, to be accurate, Meta is neither control, nor ESC. However, most 
versions and clones of Emacs accept ESC as a substitute for the (lack of 
a) meta key.

Having ESC become a control prefix is really strange. I have never seen 
any version do that. And the exact key bindings might also have been 
modified in the version you are running, so it might not help to look 
how things work elsewhere. But it's a good start...
