Hi,
I use Apache OO 4.1.2 in OS/2 (eCS22b2). I cannot find a euro symbol
to insert into a document in insert--special characters in any of my
fonts. Is this because I don't know where to look or because eCS
doesn't supply a font with a euro or something else?

You don't say what kind of system you're using. You need to implement a
Compose key. Many Linux distros--maybe all-- have the capability of
assigning a compose key to one of the keyboard keys--right-alt is a good
choice, or right Windows, if you have one. On Windows, there are
a number of programs many of them free, that will let you assign a
Compose key. One is AllChars.
With a Compose key, you can create a whole slew of different symbols
using the sequence: Compose key1 key2. Many of the combinations
are obvious. To create a Euro sign, €, you hit Compose, c, =, (without
the commas) and there you are. All the diacritic marks of European
languages are there, plus some common Greek letters, like µ (mu), the
German ß, the degree sign for 75°F, other foreign currency signs, like £,
¥, and the US ¢, ¶ and many others.
