Not so any more. > If you want unibyte mode, you need to ask for it explicitly. I am not sure I understand correctly what you say. No matter whether I use "emacs --no-init-file" or "emacs --unibyte --no-init-file" I will not see the octal sequences. Where does the standard-european-display come from? (Normally, I always use --unibyte.) In any case, it seems to me that emacs 21.2.1 and emacs 21.3.1 behave differently here. (There might be good reasons for this. I am merely asking myself how I can get the behavior I got with emacs 21.2.1.) Roland
