  Meta to be converted to @kbd{ESC} and still be able type 8-bit
  characters present directly on the keyboard or using @kbd{Compose} or

+ For Latin-1 only, you can use the key @kbd{C-x 8} as a ``compose
+ character'' prefix for entry of address@hidden Latin-1 printing
+ characters.  @kbd{C-x 8} is good for insertion (in the minibuffer as
+ well as other buffers), for searching, and in any other context where
+ a key sequence is allowed.
+ 
+ @kbd{C-x 8} works by loading the @code{iso-transl} library.  Once that
+ library is loaded, the @key{ALT} modifier key, if the keyboard has
+ one, serves the same purpose as @kbd{C-x 8}: use @key{ALT} together
+ with an accent character to modify the following letter.  In addition,
+ if the keyboard has keys for the Latin-1 ``dead accent characters,''
+ they too are defined to compose with the following character, once
+ @code{iso-transl} is loaded.
+ 
+ Use @kbd{C-x 8 C-h} to list all the available @kbd{C-x 8} translations.
