There's a good chance that hitting à sends more than one char. If I just open a new file ("emacs test"), press à, and then press C-h l, here is what I see in the Help buffer: C-v C-h l > Yes, it looks like right now the problem is in the terminal > configuration itself. But the problem happens in two different remote terminals (and also locally), and the same 8-bit chars work fine on the command line in those same terminals... > What terminal did you try this with? OSX Terminal, which is configured as xterm-color. I now tried also from PuTTy (configured as xterm) on a Windows machine, and hitting à appears to send different stuff: M-C M-SPC C-h l I currently can't try logging in locally, I'm far from the machine. But I can tell you that, while in the remote terminals I get an "End of buffer" message in emacs when I press à, in the local terminal some chars where actually entered, I can't remember which ones, but I think they were a variant of the upper case A plus a symbol, each time I pressed à. Thanks for your help. -- Ciao, Marco.
