Why can't you make your keyboard produce these characters? My keyboard has dead-keys for cedilla and accents, so I can compose these characters with the keyboard directly, no Emacs action necessary. When you have X11 running you can define two new levels of key symbols, those when you press alt or alt and shift together. The programme to change this is xmodmap, xmodmap -pk will show the recent settings. -- Greetings Pete A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
