just a note -- accents & umlauts display just fine, and typingthem also seems to work fine when xemacs is run without the -nw switch -- that is, when it opens up its own x-based 'frame' or window. I can also type them from the console. But in an xterm, emacs seems to interpret the characters as control- or meta-keystrokes of some kind. Unfortunately I often run emacs over ssh, and xterm is definitely my preferred mode. Any suggestions?
