I've recently built Epoch 4.2 for Ultrix 4.2c on a DECstation 5000.
Everything is working fine, so far, except Meta-space.  I want Meta-space to
generate character \240.  But when I type Meta-space, the keyboard seems to go
into some sort of character composition mode, and the next two keys I type are
treated differently (they are ignored, usually, except for causing a beep).

Meta-space works fine in other applications, including EMACS 18.51 and bash.

I tried using

 (epoch::rebind-key "space" 'meta "\M- ")

but it didn't make a difference.

Can anyone tell me anything about this problem?

Michael.
