(Cross posted in WPS-PLUS, note 498.0, with no response)
I have a customer who uses VTerm as an emulator to run ALL-IN-1 V2.4
(no WPS-PLUS V4 yet). They apparently don't get multinational
characters on the screen. They're looking at some others but find that
using compose is too difficult for actually typing in another language,
particularly French. Is anyone out there using an emulator on the PC
that makes entering multinational characters easy? The ability to
switch languages the way you can on a VT would probably be ok.
I suggested UPD's, but she feels there are too many keys to use
(GOLD) F17-F20, and Gold U is just too many keystrokes to get one �.

How about using DOS's `KEYB' command to select an appropriate keyboard
layout? E.g. a french keyboard. Similarly, Windows-3 allows you to set
your keyboard mapping (from `international' on the `control panel'.)
Or do they want a VT style `compose' key? There are utilities that can
do that too.
Cheers,
Paul.

No, they hate COMPOSE. It is too many keystrokes for one letter. I
will suggest KEYB. I'm not sure if they use Windows, since I have
another requirement that excludes it.
