There was a time when I was connecting to several machines via remote desk top or vnc and similar, and in some combinations I was unable to type any of the Alt-Gr key combinations. The only way I found to resolve this was to have a small text file on the remote machines, containing all the symbols I used most often, and have it permanently open on the remote machine so I could quickly copy and paste. One such was the bar, |, which is a Alt-Gr combination on the swedish keyboard. Imagine typing 'ps -ef | grep <command> a hundred times a day with no bar! A similar solution might be to have the remote machines character list visible, assuming that the character table includes all characters and not just, say, extended ascii. Having said that, if you've connected your Sun keyboard to a PC then you may have problems there, too. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
