Even though "meta sets 8th bit" is "broken" in your point-of-view, that didn't stop it from being used all these years. The fact that it maps into real characters is not a problem if you can just use a CTRL-V equivalent in bash or vim. Furthermore, it is an _option_. No one is obliged to use it. So it's a question of: .. _forcing_ the end of "meta sets 8th bit" .. leaving things the way they are, and have them keep working, as xterm did. So guess we should fix xterm too? I think you're exagerating. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
