So assuming you did that in a "normal" buffer, that means that A-241 is properly interpreted by self-insert-command and you get the char "=F1" inserted in your buffer (and then properly displayed as well). > My program does (insert pr-line), where > pr-line is a string containing the =F1 - this puts \361 up.
