My keyboard has an Italian-105-keys layout and no '~' character on it. Under X I type AltGr+ì to get the character but on windows I need to enter the ASCII sequence as (IIRC) Alt+126. Problem is that Alt is already caught by Emacs as meta character. How can I fix the problem? It would be nice if I could set the X layout on WinXP. Do you know other advices for using Emacs on WinXP? thanks in advance, Andrea Taverna
