But emacs is recognizing the eighth bit because it's using the ISO 8859-1 character net, not NVT 7-bit ascii. For our European friends, that's a good thing. Now you should configure the machine that you're running rlogin on to send the same ESC character sequence instead of setting the high bit, or tell emacs differently. -- Robert
