If you have a copy of ResEdit 1.2b3 and an ADB (post-Plus) machine,
you can edit the KCHR (I think I have that right) resource.  You will
have to futz around to figure out how the KCHR editor works, but you
can use it to change things (even the "dead keys") to do what you
want.

Slight problem: The KCHR editor refuses to run on a Plus. What's more,
the ungrowable-KCHR editor window does not all fit on an SE sized
screen, soooo you will have to get access to a bigger screened Mac.
(Maybe the Big Screen INIT will work?)

(Everyone at Apple has Mac II's, they forget that a lot of the rest of
the world doesn't.)

Second Problem: Do Plus's use the KCHR resource?  Will this solution
only work on ADB Macintoshes?
