- Try Aminet :
-
- EditKeys163.lha util/misc 40K 11+Keymap file editor
- KeyMapEd.lha util/misc 25K 128+Keymap Editor
- kme.lha util/misc 49K 191+Another keymap editor v1.2

- You realise that all the extended chars are accessible by using the Alt and
- Alt+Shift keys when pressing the normal keys, don't you ?
-
- E.g Pressing alt + e brings up a copyright symbol () on the standard GB
- keymap.

- Hope this helps.
