Emacs -q works normally it seems but there is no ERC component in the menu after the channel buffer #rcirc@irc.freenode.net is created. What I normally do is run M-x erc through an alias M-x irc and parameters(server,channel, etc.) in .emacs are evaluated automatically.

See `M-x list-input-methods', `C-h I' and > `C-x C-\'. No. Am in U.S. I just have a bunch of oddball things like this lumped together: ... (global-set-key "\C-c9" (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?⁹ ))) (global-set-key "\C-c0" (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?⁰ ))) (global-set-key "\C-ca" (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?ˊ ))) (global-set-key "\C-cb" (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?˘ ))) (global-set-key "\C-cp" (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?¶ ))) ... I use input methods too. The C-c bindings are things I commonly use that aren't accessible in any one input method. I should probably make my own homebrew imput method that includes all the glyphs I want. I would learn rfc1345 mnemonics if I thought they were going to be stable. When will rfc1345 get a more official sounding name? Things like: &NH\203 ƒ &VS\212 make me think it's not ready for prime time. May be a font problem though. MSarialunicode doesn't have everything in it. I also have this .emacs: (fset 'im-uc [?\C-x return ?\C-\\ ?r ?f ?c ?1 ?3 ?4 ?5 return]) So I don't have to do C-x ret C-\ rfc1345 but M-x im-uc For me, using ucs-insert is like putting in graphic characters with Alt keypad on the old ibm pc. > > Hope that helps, > Somewhat. Thanks again.
