Alt < and alt > don't work for me, either, but alt isn't the only way
to enter a keystroke requiring "meta".  Try escape instead.
Escape < and escape > are usable.  Be aware that when using escape as
meta, you need to release escape before hitting the modified key.

I also have a customized keymap, so that I can use ctrl+home and ctrl+end
for beginning-of-buffer and end-of-buffer, respectively.
I'd send it to you, but it has some other things in it that you probably
don't want.  E.G., I don't need to use shift to type ( and ), and my
paren keys are where the square brackets are on most keyboards.
Instead, I'll point you to the Emacs Wiki, for info about Emacs-specific
keymap customizations:

Good luck,
