Every character you can produce in xterm should be available in Emacs too. In Mac OS X I can use the alt or option key to toggle my keyboard to produce characters outside 7 bit US-ASCII. This too works in an X client like xterm. (Or in Emacs running in its own windows.) Could you describe which keys and how they are produced work in xterm and in your konsole application and do not work when GNU Emacs 21.4 is running in those terminal emulations? Could be that the environment variable LC_CTYPE (same as LANG) helps GNU Emacs. -- Greetings Pete When confronted with actual numbers, a mathematician is at a loss. (Steffen Hokland)
