	I have, of course, tried this with several different fonts, in
	several different text-processors, and with the DA KeyCaps ....
	as I stated, it only works with the capital letter A and grave
	and capital E and acute .... it does work with all lower-case
	vowels....

	I'm not posting this to pick on Jeff (whose helpful participation
	I appreciate), but rather to keep the question open ...
