    # To subscribers of the xforms list from Clive A Stubbings <xforms@vjet.demon.co.uk> :

    I've got an application that I want to be able to get characters with
    ascii values > 128 into - eg UK pound, french grave/acute accented
    chars etc. In an Xterm I'd just use ALT-SHIFT-3 for pound, however
    xforms just ignores that.

    I've lashed something up using a hairy pre-handler for the input
    objects that looks at the object, its type, the event and the
    key and mangles stuff accordingly...

    Its a bit of a ghastly approach, but it does work.. Thinking about it
    though, I can't be the first person to have run into this, so does
    anyone have a better solution?

    Cheers
    Clive
