Macos – Changing emacs bindings on Mac OS X for command to be meta

emacsmacos

I'm using GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.29) of 2010-05-08 on black.local on OS X. I downloaded it from here: http://emacsformacosx.com/

My problem is that it doesn't have the command keys mapped to the normal emacs Meta bindings – it has them mapped to what an osx user knows Command-v is now 'cut' for example when I do a describe-keybinding.

How can I get rid of these osx bindings, and make Command mapped back to the normal gnu Meta bindings?
