OK, I do use iTerm for the tabs. Are there any other special benefits i should know about/be using?
Also, I have option set as my meta key, but instead of meta-ing it goes into extended characters (option-f for example generates an ae ligature instead of forward one word). And page up generates a ~ character - what am i doing wrong.

I gave up on multiple terminal windows or tabs, and just use gnu screen instead.
here's my .screenrc, replace / with a pound sign (the forum seems to strip them out):
/ because we like C-a is useful as 'goto beginning of line'
/ instead we use C-z to enter commands
escape ^Zz
/ a is title instead of A
bind a title
/ . is windowlist, in recent order
bind '.' windowlist -b -m
/ comma enters command mode, so much easier to type
bind , colon
/ always show the caption
caption always
/ don't make ugly shell titles, and force bash instead of sh or whatever
shelltitle '.'
shell /bin/bash/ startup mousehole and gem_server, and give me a default shell
screen -t mouse.hole bin/mouseHole/bin/mouseHole
/ ruby gems documentation
screen gem_server
/ new shell
screen bash

you know, I really wish terminal.app had tabs. iTerm feels a bit clunky at times, and it makes "bold" (ansi bold or whatever it's called) antialiased, while everything else is crisp..

you mean aliased? anti-aliasing removes the jaggies.
but yes, i agree, i wish terminal.app was a bit more... feature rich. particularly in the tab area.

I tried iTerm more than once, because I so needed tabs, and I just couldn't get used to the tabs being centered. Now I kind of appreciate when I'm on Terminal and can press f10 (expose) and watch all my shells doing stuff, which you really can't do with tabs.
What would be really reallly really cool would be Adium-style tabs in Terminal.

I actutally switch to using iterm full time affter finanlly getting the settings to "stick" (previous versions have problems keeping settings across sessions) and I had to edit some preference file or something
the centering of the tabs drove me nuts, but at least I get to use xterm color :)
you don't HAVE to use tabs, you can use "new window" and still use expose
