Hello Andrew!
GNU Emacs 23.0.60 is long ago and actually I don't have that version around
anymore – problems with updated dynamic shared libraries.
My keyboard was then the German keyboard of an Apple PowerBook G4 (now it's
that of a MacBook). Some keyboard shortcuts in Mac OS X seem to be bound to
particular positions so that they make no sense with the German layout (US
American ; or ' become German ö and ä for example). Could be the problem was
then that I could not compose accented letters in GNU Emacs that worked in
Carbon Emacs, the native Mac OS X or Aqua version.
Anyway, the problem was then, seven years ago, the lack of Unicode support or
my inability to use it properly, so that I had to use ISO translations then
because I need for European languages support more than a set of US-ASCII 7-bit
characters.
I think that you can simply close that old bug report. With Unicode support GNU
Emacsen 23, 24, 25 work alright.
