When deactivating it, I could not type 8bit chars anymore in Terminal.app. This is OT now, but I later played around with my customized .bash_profile (on OSX), it contained these two lines: stty cs8 -istrip -parenb bind 'set output-meta on' I added them long time ago exactly for using 8bit chars in all Terminal apps, following some Usenet suggestions. I now added this one: bind 'set convert-meta off' ...and everything seems to be fine now, without the need for the "Escape non-ASCII chars" option. Apart from the fact that now 8bit chars seem to be broken in the local OSX text-mode emacs, but I don't care about it, as I already said ;). -- Ciao, Marco.
