Yes, it's a unix command. A custom one. The standard thing is: man ascii But it only gives ascii, while my command displays also non-ascii characters. Since we're in gnu.emacs.help, you should rather use an emacs function. For example: (defun ascii () (interactive) (loop for i from 0 to 255 do (when (zerop (mod i 8)) (insert "\n")) (insert (format " %3d %c " i i)))) Then you can type M-x ascii RET in any buffer to see the ISO-8859-1 characters. (This is not the codes you have to type with C-q, these depend on the language environment selected, and if the coding system of the buffer doesn't include the iso-8859-1 character, you'll be asked to change it when you save the buffer). It's possible to convert to and from coding systems in emacs, but I don't know the exact functions to use. I usually do these things with clisp. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you.
