Ah, ok. But then

%    Mute (dead or accent) keys
%    Valid Mute keys are:
%      ^, ~, ', `, \d168 (ISO Diaeresis), \d180 (ISO Acute), and \".
%    This means pressing this key then the key you want to accent yields
%     the accented character.  If you do not know what this is, you do not
%     need them.  By default, they are turned off.

%mute_set_mute_keys (" ^ ~ ' ` \d168 \d180 \"  ");  % choose all or subset

---------------------------------------------------------------

is slightly misleading, I think.

Hmm ... Yes, via ssh. Funny: emacs and vi do it, too. Never noticed, 
that this also works within an editor.

Thanks,
