Every carbon emacs user I know V> sets this variable to nil, Well, I don't. The main reason is that I would loose the Alt-keyboard function which gives me acces to non-ASCII characters, like the Euro sign and accented characters. Yes, I know Emacs has other ways to access these, but I find them handy as they are the same as in other applications. If you are English-speaking then these are less important. Maybe that's the reason the British don't want the Euro :=) -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP] Private email: P.van.Oostrum@hccnet.nl
