Can some kind knowledgeable soul please help me with the following problem:
I am trying to port the STedi editor to the NeXT and part of this editor
is that it can map any sequence of keys to any other sequence of keys.
However internally the NeXT plays around with the alternate key and if
I press Alternate-a it signifies an accent so it waits for a second key.
In terminal this behaviour does not exist, so it must be possible to
switch it off. How is this done? (I would like to be able to bind 
alternate-a to whatever command my mood inspires and have any user do
so also).
I have checked all my manuals (I have the developer docs) and have not
been able to find a solution to this problem. Did I overlook something?

Happy NewYear
Jos Vermaseren
