as Jochen suggested in this thread simply put

 set meta-flag on
 set convert-meta off
 set output-meta on
 set input-meta on

in your ${HOME}/_inputrc (or .inputrc) to get all characters with the  
eights bit set.

I think this is more a problem with my system than DJGPP-related. I tried  
to copy char 7 (bell) to stdout at the dos-prompt -- it didn't beep too.
