Is there any XLisp-hack which allows 8-bit characters in strings.

I tried this with XLisp 2.1 on my PC at home:
                 
>(format t "Lisp \"ar roligt")
and then I pressed my Swedish a-diaraesis key and XLisp barfed.
(Illegal character I think it said).

In the example above I used TeXconventions for the funny letter.
And it means "Lisp is fun" in English.

I would love that, too. Somebody else? Write to Dave Betz. I did, and
he told me that 8-bit characters might be allowed in a future
release. The more people are demanding it, the sooner he'll implement
it, I think ;-)
