Hi!

I'm currently using FreeBSD 2.1.0 (Oct 10th snapshot) and I've just
managed to create a keymap file for the Portuguese keyboard layout
(the one I'm using).

My problem now is how to write composed characters. I haven't found  
anything related to it in the OS. For example, when I type "'" followed 
by "a", I would like to get an "a" with an accent.

Is this possible under FreeBSD ? If not, will it ever be ?

I would also like to contribute with the portuguese keymap file, which 
doesn't come with the distribution. To whom should I send it ?

Thanks in advance,
Joao Cabral.
