        Hi. I have a question regarding the use of xmodmap. I have an
Amiga A3000 running NetBSD 1.2, and I want to emulate the behaviour of
Alt-f to Alt-j keys. They work as dead keys for acentuation. For
instance, Alt-f a will produce an "a'" (i.e.,  "á" in ISO Latin). I
browse thru xmodmap man pages but I was unable to figure out how to do
it. Is it possible at all? (I believe it is, it would be a terrible
flaw to X window).

        Regards,

PS: I'd appreciate if you'd also post your reply via email.
