Hi,

sorry for the delay - I somehow missed yoru answer.

Thanks for the tip.  It works, but not entirely.  It did work for \'{e},
but not for \H{o} - probably because there is no "ő" in ISO 8859-1.  So
this won't do all the tricks that the TeX inout method does.

Still, if nothing else pops up, this is quite useful - thanks!

Best,
