Hello Andrew!

GNU Emacs 23.0.60 is long ago and actually I don't have that version around anymore – problems with updated dynamic shared libraries.

My keyboard was then the German keyboard of an Apple PowerBook G4 (now it's that of a MacBook). Some keyboard shortcuts in Mac OS X seem to be bound to particular positions so that they make no sense with the German layout (US American ; or ' become German ö and ä for example). Could be the problem was then that I could not compose accented letters in GNU Emacs that worked in Carbon Emacs, the native Mac OS X or Aqua version.

Anyway, the problem was then, seven years ago, the lack of Unicode support or my inability to use it properly, so that I had to use ISO translations then because I need for European languages support more than a set of US-ASCII 7-bit characters.

I think that you can simply close that old bug report. With Unicode support GNU Emacsen 23, 24, 25 work alright.
