Subject: ISO-8859-1 character set and the keyboard

Hi,

I am using accents and other extras from the ISO-8859-1 character set in PINE
but only through keys I have defined. This has its limits because there are 
not sufficient keys you can redefine (it will not cover all the accents and 
german umlauts).

With Emacs I am able to use the compose key (or multy_key) to access all the
special characters. Is this possible with PINE ? How would one do it ?

	Thanks for any help

		Jan

	Something you may want to try is setting up pine to use an
alternate editor.  You can do this in the setup/config menu.

	You can set either:

          [X]  enable-alternate-editor-cmd

	or

	  [X]  enable-alternate-editor-implicitly

	and

	editor = path to emacs.

	See the help in the config menu for mor info on the alternate
editor.  

	After you set it up you could use emacs which seems to supply the
functions you require.

	Regards,
