I was > told that it's impossible to type in these extra characters - is it true? Not completely, at least if you have an xterm, but it's a bit hit and miss even there. You can enable 8 bit mode (which you need for the -m flag of bindkey), then type ^V, then some key with the meta key pressed down. For example, small e with an acute accent is \C-v\M-i (in Emacs language), and holding down shift at the same time has the obvious effect. -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +44 792 205678 extn. 4461 WWW: http://python.swan.ac.uk/~pypeters/ Fax: +44 792 295324 Department of Physics, University of Wales, Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea, SA2 8PP, U.K.
