- Do you mean international characters???
- I found I got some problems with meta keys once I started using
- international characters, perhaps you are having the oposite
- problem that I had. There is an environment variable called:
- NOREBIND, which if set, causes meta key sequences to remain mapped to
- wonderfuly useful functions. However, if you unset NOREBIND and
- restart your shell, you will get no meta mappings, and you should be
- able to type Meta-character and get the special symbol defined for
- that key sequence.
-
- Also, even if you have NOREBIND set you can type ^VM-x and get your
- meta character on the screen.
-
- If you are using less, you might also check the LESSCHARSET
- environment variable, it should be set to latin1 for normal iso8859-1
- character sets. ( don'tya just love how simple and standard all this
- stuff is?? )
