In my earlier posting, I forgot to add one important question:

- is there any way of persuading the PC Telnet program to accept
accented characters from the keyboard?  Using the normal PC
methods (alt-plus-numeric keypad) doesn't work, and neither does
loading a foreign keyboard.  Or is this just another case of
a program carelessly assuming that everyone on the planet
writes only with unaccented characters?
