typing ascii chars above 127 with speakup

[Thomas Stivers]

I used the /proc/speakup/characters file as a reference and still cannot
figure out why it doesn't work. I saw that the values matched my
expectation, but I am still getting odd stuff when I type them into
editors. If I can successfully jump this hurtle I won't have to reboot
this damn box into winblows every other day for spanish homework. grin.
Thanks for the suggestions.
