However, the assumption fails if "process" is supposed to mean that

it and have to learn it again each time - but Perl 6 might just be
the tipping point to make learning Unicode composition worthwhile.)
Just copy/paste from another message or a web page. Perhaps a web page
designed for that purpose...
Or:
setxkbmap -device $kbd->{ID} 'us(intl),gr(basic),il(biblical)' \
-option grp:switch,grp:scroll_toggle,grp_led:scroll,lv3:ralt_switch
(Worksforme on Fedora 10)
Where the -device option chooses a keyboard (defaults to the core
keyboard); if you need the number, use "xinput list".
That will let you type in English, Greek, and Hebrew, with lots of
funny symbols accessible by pressing the right alt key, and using the scroll
lock key to switch groups.
Oh, actually, I thing the scroll lock stuff only works on my computer.
But I'm sure you get the idea :).
And the APL keyboard layout will appear in xorg soon, as soon as
the xkeybaord-config "exotic layouts" issue is closed.
