The answer to <Alt>-x is only `beep` end I have to type <ESC> x anyway. By the way: what do I have to read to learn more about the purpose of `ModeShift`, `Compose` and `ModeLock`? Thanks to Rick, but are there any mor hints Andreas. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
