plea for help from Mac users

["Alfred W. Tüting"]

Bruce,
maybe this could be a starting point for you: a couple of years ago I  
had the same problem. I'll attach my then email to enlighten the issue:

This is the keyboard I once rendered for my own use (based on the  
German layout)

Here's one example that I once had generated using "my" La??ta  
keyboard (I know Jan Ullrich doesn't appreciate this "convenience" at

In short: I had used the simple software "Ukelele" to alter the  
underlying (German) keyboard.

Maybe this helps.

Best regards
