It's better you try to make your tests by launching GNU Emacs with -q =20= or -Q. A lot of GNU Emacs 22 customisation deals with making it work =20 with non-US-ASCII encodings. This has changed in GNU Emacs 23. You can check what your keyboard emits by first pressing C-q and then =20= the keyboard key. GNU Emacs seems to have problems with composing =20 Latin characters. The dead keys you press make it report in echo =20 area. This cures the problem: (load-library "iso-transl") A good start is also to set an environment variable like LC_ALL (or =20 LANG). -- Greetings Pete When Richard Stallman goes to the loo, he core dumps.
