    What does "that" refer to; to write (meta ?é), or your
    reasoning above?

Both.

    Anyway, it doesn't work on Windows if .emacs is editted and
    saved as a multibyte buffer.

Why not?  It seems that the character should be decoded by visiting
the file, and converted into the proper character code.
