When I use vi or even at the shell prompt I can paste accented characters or use the built-in Mac OS dead keys with no problem. As soon as I bring up emacs, however, attempts to paste accented characters or use the dead keys result in a beep and no character entered. Why can other applications accept 8-bit accented characters when emacs cannot? Can I teach emacs to accept these characters? Colin p.s. I have read the numerous faqs and documentation on the topic. I'm not looking to enable emacs' internal character composition mechanism. I just want to paste or type accented characters and have them be accepted just like vi or the shell would accept them. p.p.s at this time I am using emacs 20.7.1
