I am not sure I understand correctly what you say. No matter whether
I use "emacs --no-init-file" or "emacs --unibyte --no-init-file"
I will not see the octal sequences. Where does the
standard-european-display come from? (Normally, I always use --unibyte.)
In any case, it seems to me that emacs 21.2.1 and emacs 21.3.1
behave differently here. (There might be good reasons for this. I am
merely asking myself how I can get the behavior I got with emacs
21.2.1.)
