Oops, yes (shift key pressed longer than needed).

Right, this is for accents in some spanish/french words.  I was thinking
of UTF-8 since that's my current locale, but that's probably irrelevant
for setting these directives here (accents).  So if ISO-8859-1 is more
portable, I think latin1 should be fine in this case.  Thanks.
