The simplest way I have found to do the special characters is to use the special "compose" key combo. If you are using SuSE 8.0, the default is Right-Shift, Right-Ctrl and Left-Windows key.
Original Kevin here... with US-English keyboard I'm having limited success. Some combinations do what the /Compose file says they should. Others do nothing, or give different characters than expected.
On my suse 7.3 with pc-104 keyboard I changed to "US-English with dead keys" within the KDE-controlcenter (input-devices). This option was not offered in the installation and sax (bug?). However, I still cannot type the euro and some other characters in KDE (also not after changing to nl_NL@euro). In the virtual console everything works well. In the X-console only the echo-Escape sequences work, but not the compose (echo -e "\244"). In the editor nothing works. I suppose it has something to do with (not) supporting by the fonts, but I am not sure. Ruud. -------------------------------------------------------
