| I'm not seeing the incorrect characters, but for anything involving '
| or " I'm just getting the ^K sequence inserted unchanged.  This is
| with version 9.8l and 9.8r.
| 
| Looking in digraphs.rc, I see that the quote characters are escaped
| in
| the map! statements:
| 
|   map! ^Ka` ^V224
|   map! ^Ka\' ^V225
|   map! ^Ka\" ^V228
| 
| So the first works fine, and produces à as expected.  The other two
| require the backslash to be entered as part of the sequence to work.
| i.e. the four character sequence ^Ka\' produces á.  Omitting the
| backslash gives the input unchanged: ^Ka'.
| 
| Editing diagraphs.rc to remove the backslashes appears to load fine,
| and then the digraph works as expected.  Did the rc parser change
| Tom?

it's been a while - I'll research that this evening (have to go now...)
