Rebinding international characters

[Oscar Fuentes]

Symptoms:

I'm trying to rebind an international character as explained on the
node ``Non-ASCII Characters on the Keyboard":

(local-set-key [241] 'dabbrev-expand)

This works on 21.1 but has no effect on the CVS version.

This works, though:

(local-set-key [?ñ] 'dabbrev-expand)
