you mean =E1, =F1 etc. (writing in pine here)

two things: you need to choose character-set=3DISO-8859-1 in your .pinerc
and the console you are working on must allow you to input such characters
which might require some tweaking. Try compose 'a/~n or holding down alt
and typing the ASCII numbers. The Sun I'm writting this on has a compose
key, my linux console at home works with alt but admittedly I have never
been able to convince XFree86 under linux to do any such thing :(
