But by rearranging things with a new KMAP, it should be possible. Of course, your terminal emulator might be too smart for it's own good, and filter out these characters, in which case you'll need another scheme. Or another terminal emulator. --Tom Lippincott ..ucbvax!math!lippin "If I went about claiming supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!" --Dennis
