Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Bear with me, as character sets, etc. are pretty new to me... I do a lot of communication with individuals overseas, esp. in Norway, and one thing that has bugged me to no end since switching my home box platform from Windows to FreeBSD was the inability to type "extended characters", like the "a ring", "o slash", "ae", etc. In the case of the "a ring", I was able to replicate that in Windows using the old DOS ALT-codes. I searched the FreeBSD-questions, and Pine-info archives to get some insight in how I could do this ("keyboard mapping", etc.), but to no avail. Does anyone have any info, or know of a web page, of how to achive this on a US-101 keyboard? Thanks! --- Peter Losher Systems Admin. - Nominum, Inc.
