Hmmm, maybe you can point out the "compose" key on my keyboard, I
can't find it. ;)
I know what Larry went through. I had to do quite a bit of work just
to be able to type a £ symbol. I wound up remapping my 'option' key
(that's 'alt' to you non-Mac people) to £. I still haven't managed to
get my xterms to display it right and had to switch from my normal
"Clean" font in emacs because it doesn't support high ascii to "Neep".
