	I have problems concerning national letters and X-environment.
	I use ISO-8859 font and it displays as it should on output from
	programs (also executed from within xterm).

	Problem 1:	Running xterm, 8 bit characters generated from keyboard
			gets displayed as square and bell.
			Simular problem with an application using  Athena Text
			widget.

	Problem 2:	Remapping the keyboard with xmodmap I would like to
			use two modifier keys ex. Compose Shift key, and 
			should then need four keysym per key.
			I need this to use national keyboard Europe.
			But I can only get two keysym assigned to a key, 
			ie. unshifted and shifted.

	System I am using:
		SUN Sparc 1+
		SUN OS 4.1.1
		X11 Release 4
