Oleg,

many thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, it is still not what
I need.

What I would like is something that traslates for example an 'à' in a
string to an 'à'

--b

PS.  does anyone know of an easy way to type special characters on
linux keyboards?  I read about using (left or right) ALT (depending on
keyboard) together with the ordinal number of the character--but that
is said to work only with the keys of the numeric keypad that is
missing on my laptop...
