Thanks for your input. I am happy to switch to one of the EIGHT_LEVEL's, I just don't know how to do it. I am playing with the AE12 key, trying to define all 5 characters to it. It assigns to symbols[Group1] and symbols[Group2] but I can't figure out how it gets associated to the PC_RALT_LEVEL2 and therefore cannot figure out how to change the association to one of the EIGHT_LEVEL's. If you or someone can take the file I sent in my original post, and change the AE12 key to have five characters, I would be able to take it from there. This is the association I seek for the AE12 key:
normal = equal shift = plus Right-Alt = multiply Shift-Right-Alt = division Control-Right-Alt = U2339 If I could map that, I think I could get the rest. Thanks for the help!
