No. "Alt-a" starts an "abbr" (abbreviation, I assume) environment. 
"Alt-' e", however, does produce "é" (e acute).

I don't recall messing around with the way TeXmacs maps its modifiers,
but I do know that when I assign, for example "H-something", it never
works.  So far, the only "H-" modifier that works is "H-'" for (rprime
"<dag>").

P.S.:  I am running RedHat 9 with XFree86-4.3.0 and sawfish as my window
manager.
