Option or command key as meta-key for LispBox on Macintosh

I'm new to emacs and just downloaded the LispBox (from the Practical Common Lisp site) from SBCL to my Macintosh. I know enough to understand that I want the key or command key to be a meta key.

The emacs version shipped with LispBox does not pay attention to the .emacs in my home directory.

Emacs shipped with LispBox runs in REPL. I can’t understand what I have to enter in order to set the command key as Meta, as well as where and how to configure it forever.

Edit: I'm not very interested in downloading another version of emacs. I already have emacs launched from Terminal with my option key being displayed as meta. I want to keep a close eye on the Practical General Lisp tutorial that LispInABox suggests, which interests me here.

TIA.
