454.0. "Swedish characters from N. American keyboard" by EAGLE1::BEST (R D Best, sys arch, I/O) Tue Feb 26 1991 11:46

I went looking for a note on this, but didn't find one.

Is it possible to generate realistic Swedish overstruck characters
("A double dot", "A over o", "O double dot") in text with a North American
LK201.  Can anyone help ?  Can I dynamically redefine keypad charracters or
some of the unused top row keys (F keys) to emit these ?

The "Compose Character" key on the VT2xx/VT3xx keyboard can be used to produce
special characters and letters with diacritical marks.

To produce one of the "weird" characters on a VT2xx/VT3xx terminal, type
"Compose Character" followed by a two-character combination.  To do it on a
workstation, hold "Compose Character", hit the space bar, release "Compose
Character" and key in the two-character combination.
