   There's no need to modify the KCHR resource to access characters with
umlauts.  Simply type option-U, followed by the character you wish to
have umlauted.  For example, to type an umlauted 'a', type option-u,
followed by the 'a' key.   Much less Sturm und Drang than editing
keyboard mappings in ResEdit...
