|  |     Can you not use "Compose Character"?
    To get a s�ne fada simply type  "compose Character","i" and "'".
    Then a "�" will magically appear.
    Works just as well for �,�,� and �.
    BTW What do you think of Bacon and Cabbage...the Irishmans staple
    diet??

| 971.3 | doesn't work | TALLIS::DARCY |  | Wed Nov 13 1991 12:36 | 6 | 
|  |     For some odd reason the compose character doesn't work on
    my VAXstation 3100 running VMS.  Maybe I need some special
    fonts to make it work?
    
    I can create them OK on my VT330 terminal.

|  |     re. -1
    
    on a VAXstation try pressing compose and the space bar simultaenously
    then the compose LED should come on and you're away...
    
    � � � �    etc.....
    
    Huw.
    
    PS. anyone know why I can't get circumflexes on  W & Y  (which are
    vowels in Welsh)?

Because there wasn't a good Welsh representative on the ISO committee
when the standards were being designed! 
There is provision for Welsh being planned for Unicode and 10646 I
think though.
