Hello!

GNU Emacs does not handle the dead keys on my keyboard correctly. In =20
its appearance as Emacs the are correctly handled:

	^ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	^ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	=B4 <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	` <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	=A8 <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	~ C-h l

The X client about all of them: "<xxx> is undefined."

When I insert

	(load-library "iso-transl")

into *scratch* buffer and type C-j, I get:

	^^'`"~

and in *Help* buffer:

	<dead-circumflex> SPC <S-dead-circumflex> SPC <dead-acute> SPC =
<S-=20
dead-grave> SPC <dead-diaeresis> SPC <dead-tilde> SPC C-h l

Obviously <S-dead-grave> is misunderstood =96 it should be <S-dead-=20
acute> =96 and inserted as in xterm or uxterm as

	        character: ' (39, #o47, #x27)
	preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
	       code point: 0x27
	           syntax: ' 	which means: prefix
	         category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 =
IRV:1983=20
[4/0]) l:Latin
			   r:Japanese roman
	      buffer code: #x27
	        file code: #x27 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)

while it should be

	        character: =B4 (180, #o264, #xb4)
	preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
	       code point: 0xB4
	           syntax: _ 	which means: symbol
	         category: h:Korean j:Japanese l:Latin
	      buffer code: #xC2 #xB4
	        file code: #xC2 #xB4 (encoded by coding system =
utf-8-unix)

as in Emacs.app or Carbon Emacs (22.2). In xterm and uxterm the dead =20
keys compose accented characters. The same characters are also =20
composed in the X client after iso-transl was loaded.
