Indeed, LyX 1.1.4 uses Compose key just fine. One may easily type
things like Ø, ¥, ©... which are not found on standard keyboards. (I've become
quite spoiled, BTW, because of this -- when using Windoze- or Mac-type
machines, I'll often grumble to others about the difficulty of generating such
symbols. Macs have it easier than Wins, I think, but with the Compose-key
system I can often just puzzle out how to make a character, by putting
components together. I don't have to start KeyCaps, or look at an ASCII chart,
if I want to quickly write "150 [Angstrom]." (Ok, I can't do it in Xfmail, but
it still works in LyX!)
Happily not upgrading just yet,
