Srinath et al:

      I wish I had thought of this before you did a lot of work on=20
changing the 'encoding' settings.  I think there is a much simpler=20
solution to this problem:  stick with standard keyboard characters.=20
Instead of a line like

	let text =3D substitute(text, '=BB', phe, 'g')

from plugin/imaps.vim, use

	let text =3D substitute(text, "\xbb", phe, 'g')

I think this should have identical results.  Another option, when using=20
a string that is going to be used in Input mode (typically the return=20
value of Function() in a construction like :imap <key> <c-r>=3DFunction()=
)=20
is to try "\<C-K>>>".  This would need testing.

      I will try this tomorrow, unless someone wants to do it first.  A=20
few questions:

* Are there any files other than plugin/imaps.vim that need this sort of=20
change?

* Are there any recent changes to 'encoding' etc. that should be undone=20
if this works?
