[Richard Stallman]

    What's wrong with the code I used instead ?

Here's the bug report.

Hi,

`C-q' seems to have a different behaviour than the documented one:

  [from *info* (emacs) Inserting Text]

     * `C-q' followed by a sequence of octal digits inserts the
     character with the specified octal character code.  You can use
     any number of octal digits; any non-digit terminates the
     sequence.  If the terminating character is <RET>, it serves only
     to terminate the sequence.  Any other non-digit terminates the
     sequence and then acts as normal input--thus, `C-q 1 0 1 B'
     inserts `AB'.

But if I type `C-q 1 0 1 B' then the sequence is not teminated, I have
to type `C-q 1 0 1 B B' to insert `AB' (read: the first non-digit seem
to be ignored).

Thanks
