Netscape will not accept 8bit characters from the mouse buffer, and will not
accept accent keystrokes from the keyboard.

(Perhaps it will accept characters as "compose" sequences, but I dislike
entering characters by non-standard methods).

It actually accepts 8bit characters defined as a single keystroke.

Oh, it is worse...

On my keyboard, SHIFT-RALT-2 defines '@' but netscape uses ALT-2 as a hotkey
to jump to the 2nd location on the "GO" list. Therefore I find the only way
to enter '@' is to copy it from another window with the mouse.
