Using the Emacs Input Method (I prefer this since I use Emacs in 3
differnt OS) solves the problem. You can choose between german prefix
where ß is the result of the sequence " and s (prefix version work
somethin like iso-accents-mode, so wovels with umlauts are entered
with the sequence " (wovel)) and german postfix where you get the same
result by hitting s and then z. In this mode wovels with umlauts are
entered typing what I think is the "no umlaut version" of the word (I
don't speak German -blame on me- so I'm not sure...).

The commands do come from BSD or GNU. But the filesystem not, and
those smarties did not adapt the commands to the filesystem.
So if you cp a file you cp just the data losing the extended
attributes. mv should behave likewise too. There are a couple of
utilities that fix this in the development stuff. I never used them as
I use my iMac as a Unix box and I don't care of the other file forks
(btw does someone know a free utility to repartition the disk to make
place to an healy Debian GNU/Linux ?).
