Sébastien, you actually got é and è to work? I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8, 
and for the longest time, the accented characters in the buffer area 
have been broken. You can get them to work in dialogs, or the 
HyperSearch bar, and then paste them into the buffer, but the buffer 
just doesn't seem to capture the keystrokes properly.

Did we ever figure out what the cause of this was, or if there was a fix?
