It's not the keyboard only. I write the documents in different environments
where I can not trust in showing or entering 8bit chars correctly. Using an
encoding like "a in TeX or ae in emails is a easier, more safe and portable
way than trying to persuade the admins of the other machines to configure a
full German-capable system...

For xemacs there exists the iso-cvt package doing that. I don't use it
because it changes my documents...






Thanks for your effort ... Enrico
