My head's beginning to spin ;-|. "He" has the problem of the e-grave
that does not appear at the point but stays in the minibuffer. I'm not
clear if _you_ experience the same problem, or merely passing on what
"he" says. In any case, I have the same problem as "he" does. That is,
if I _type_ C-x 8 ` e, the e-grave shows up in the minibuffer followed
by a dash signifying need for more input), but not at the point. I run
emacs 21.1-1 as well, but under RH [sorry]. That is, when I type the
letter, the sequence is not recognized as being complete.
