In think it is just a display issue. Characters are just integers in ELisp. So for integers below 256, C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp) shows you the character value, in case that is what you really wanted to know. Try C-x C-e on the expression ?a (place the cursor on the trailing space), to see what I mean. Hope this helps, benny
