Thanks much for all who replied with the helpful comments and data. Between those and the docs I'm narrowing it down. But I'm still having a problem getting my compose key defined in xmodmap. :-X I've added the multikey item and tried the alternative the xmodmap man page suggests, but they don't work. And I d/l'd and have tried to compile xkeycaps but I can't get past make errors. I've written to the author but I don't know if he'll reply. So I'm trying to figure out the correct xmodmap settings to just get a compose key working. I've tried a bunch of things in xmodmap and tested them in lyx to no avail with the suggested compose key combos in the docs. I've also made sure I've got the correct bind and iso files set up. I've copied lyx/bind and lyx/keybd files that I'm using to my ~./lyx/ dirs but so far haven't modified anything in them as I can't see/find anything that would get the compose key working. And the docs are missing the data on "HOw do I set up the compose key?" item. :-( And the rest of the data there is sketchy -- such as how you use the numeric codes for the upper-bit chars, -- where/how you input them, etc. There seems to be enough in them to at least test the compose key. I'm using <compose>oc or co and <compose>+O+R to test them. The only thing I've gotten working is a couple of accent chars which I don't even need. If someone knows either an xmodmap line OR a kbd or bind file modification that would get me out of the woods here, that'd be greatly appreciated. thanks much, jamie faunt
