Re: Rebinding international characters

    It seems that (define-key key-translation-map "XYZ" ...)
    doesn't work if the key sequence "XY" is bound to a non
    prefix key in global or local map.  In the case of "\e$B",
    "\e$" is bound to ispell-word (not a prefix key), so it
    doesn't work.

If read-key-sequence finds a real binding before it finds
a translation binding, of course it obeys that.  Not to do so
would lead to paradoxes.

Would removing the ordinary M-$ binding on this terminal
be an adequate solution?

    If it is a feature, I'll setup a dummy prefix in
    encoded-kb.el.

What is the advantage of the dummy prefix rather than
deleting the binding entirely?  Either way, ESC $ won't work
normally.  Am I missing something?

What type of keyboard uses ESC $ as a prefix?
Would encoded-kb always have to eliminate it,
or only for certain keyboards?
