This may be an important point, *if* the bash port really uses readline.
Under Unix I have the following definitions
(in the .inputrc file, which is the configuration file for readline):
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
I don't have the readline documentation at hand, so I can't tell the
exact meaning of each line, but the three together allow usage of
8-bit characters in bash command lines.
Perhaps this works also in the DJGPP bash.
There is certainly someone in this newsgroup, who knows, where the
equivalent file is located under DJGPP.
