You just need to >define the keyboard table right. Dead keys are implemented AFAIK, what isn't is a keyboard switch routine (ie Alt- Shift) switches the console to redirect typed keys to above ASCII-128... I am pretty sure this cannot be done as it stands now... (I can be wrong of course) as this was the subject of a whole discussion a while ago... I have already implemented the solution as set by TT on IQLR ca. 94 or 95 (Can't remember exact volume/issue) but this is just not enough...
