Re: accented characters in an xterm

[Dan Hitt]

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your post.  Your solution (C-x RET t latin-1 RET) works
like a chamr for all the ssh cases i have, but it doesn't work
for kermit---although it is an improvement for kermit,
because at least the ? changes to a character (but without
the accent mark).
