Re: Typing and pasting "special" characters directly in emacs in xterm?

Hi Adam,
             I was run into the same problem.  I was able to going
through it by adding

xtrem*eightBitInput:false
xterm*metaSendsEscape:true

to .Xdefaults file. After adding these changes you may need to run

$ xrdb .Xdefaults

thanks,
Dinesh
