Accents like DOS and Windows?
Hello.
I've read *all* the documents in /usr/doc/HOWTO and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini
about configuring the keyboard for non-us languages, and learned how
to use the dead-keys in text mode. Now I'm really close by stop
using Windows 95, but I'm with troubles.
In DOS and Windows, persons who don't have the ccedilla <Ç> key
and use this character, like me, can use the apostophre key followed
by the "C" key. But the "dead_acute" option in the '.map' files don't
do it. The result is <'c>. The solve I encountered was using the
<AltGR> key in conjunction with the "C" key, but this is very
inconvenient. I don't found the solution in any of the HOWTOS or
man pages I saw. There is some manner of using the dead_acute
option to make the "C" key generates the ccedilla character?
Another question: I don't found how to make the X-Windows use
accents correctly. The documents I found are all about the old
method 'xmodmap', who doesn't have dead-keys. None of them talk
about the new 'xkdb' extensions, who have dead-keys. There is
some new HOWTO about using the xkbd? Where can I find it?
Thanks in advance.

PS: My keyboard is an us-101 standard, without any "extra keys".
