In a formula I put 'M-m m' (math text mode), then I put a accented
char like 'ä' (in LaTex {\"a}), but this char does not appear in
the formula in Lyx or in the ps-output.
Also I put '\mbox{}' in a formula in Lyx, but when I put '"' and '\'
to write '{\"a}', these chars do not appear.

What is the Compose key?

Thank you.
