You need to have a 'compose' key, this is a matter of setting
up your keyboard map to assign 'compose' to some fairly easy key combination. On my Linux box at home I have it set to 'Shift Alt Gr', on my Sun box at work there is actually a Compose key.
Many thanks for the info. Following Mark's suggestion I have looked at man pages and googled for setxkbmap but I think I need some help here!
Is there a simple setxkbmap command to get the above key assignment (I don't have a windows key on this keyboard)? Or any other simple recommended method?
