You're reporting against xterm, but using a UTF-8 locale. Is xterm setup to run in that locale? (normally one would use uxterm) Is emacs also setup to run in that locale? What is the code for a "bullet" character? What is actually pasted? -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
