no need to do the compose key binding yourself in Epoch (as opposed to
lemacs that comes without knowledge of multi key sequences |:-{).  if
your terminal does not provide you with a compose key you can use
xmodmap(1) to have some other key behave as compose; e.g. what i do on
my ncd X terminal is the following (from my `.Xmodmap' file)

  keysym Control_R = Multi_key

thus mapping the key labelled `Alt Graph' on the right side of my
keyboard to `Multi_key'.  xev(1) is useful in determining the keysym of
keys you want to rebind with xmodmap(1).

after this (global) rebinding your X server and the Epoch 8 bit input
model will take care of the rest (and bash 1.13 and other 8 bit clean
programs will eventually benefit from it as well |:-).  make sure you
have fonts with iso 8859/1 encoding available.
