My apologies - I've worked out what you meant (I hope) $xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Multi_key" scott@work:~/spec$ touch è scott@work:~/spec$ ls è Works fine. The problem is not creating filenames with special characters - it's translating the existing ones (from MS files) into UTF. I have the same problem as the original poster - I'd like to find a way to retain the original accented characters - if indeed, they're not already lost.
