I believe the CANONICAL way to do this is via
(global-unset-key [(alt a)]) ;; probably not necessary
(define-key function-key-map [(alt a)] [ydiaeresis])
There are so many wonderful ways to define what your keyboard does in
xemacs. Combine that with xmodmap, loadkeys, xkb, and you can start
your new career as a keyboard-remapping consultant!
