No, you don't have to. It's just a bit more difficult if you don't. Under X, the standard (at least for a Sun) compose sequences work if you have set up a 'compose' key (compose s s = ß, compose o " = ö, compose + - = ±, etc). Under the normal console, you can use compose, then type in the decimal value of the character you want on the keypad, then left alt. Not as graceful, perhaps, but it works. And you should be using X anyway. :-) -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "For too long the men have messed N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | things up.
