I find that if I'm in "latin1" and (in insert mode) type ctrl-v alt-n to

the same thing when the encoding is "cp437" I get <M-^L>.
For me, the sequence i ctrl-v alt-n <Left> <C-O> ga results
in exactly same thing:
<î> <|n> <M-n> 238, Hex ee, Octal 356
This is vim7.0f
I used command :set encoding=8bit-cp437 to change encoding.
Some useful info is missinf in your email.
1. Do you toggle some other settings besides 'encoding' when
you switch between the two encodings ? What is exact sequence of
commands that you use to switch encodings ?
2. What is your vim version, and OS ? Console vim or gui vim ?
Yakov
WinXP, GVIM 7.0f.
Perform the following steps:
1. GVIM -u NONE -U NONE<cr>
2.:set nocompatible<cr>
3. Cut and past the following to the command line (all one line)
nmap <silent> <S-F5> :if exists("g:save_encoding") \| exe "set
encoding=" . g:save_encoding \| unlet g:save_encoding \| else \| let
g:save_encoding=&encoding \| set encoding=8bit-cp437 \| endif<CR>:echo
&encoding<CR>
4. Enter the following key sequence from normal mode (I'm using "Alt-"
instead of "M-" in the keystrokes) (obviously everything between '<' and
'>' is a key or key-combination - not a literal less than or greater than):
i<C-v><Alt-n><CR><ESC><S-F5>i<C-v><Alt-n><ESC>
5. Use k to go up to the first line and ga shows the character is <M-n>
6. Use j to go to the second line and ga shows the character is <M-^L>
That's what I get anyway...
Note: My default is latin1 (not using $LANG). When I press S-F5 the
command line toggles between "cp437" and "latin1".
Thanks,
