The Compose key is used for getting Umlaute, and all those other special characters from ISO-8859 as well. Pressing first the Compose key, then `"', and finally `a' yields ä, for example. A Compose key is very nice to have, because you will never get äöüß and æøå and çéèà and ðþ and whatnot all on the same keyboard. Although I prefer to use emacs with M-x iso-accents-mode where possible, since it makes typing a good deal faster. > Puzzled, Siggi Helpful, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!
