- Or, much easier: Get PopChar. It must be somewhere on SUMEX, in the Extensions
- or the Control Panels directory. Install it, restart, and click with the mouse
- in the top left corner of the screen. A meny showing all the characters in
- the current chosen font drops down, and by dragging through it you can
- select any character you want. It will also show you how to type it, so you
- will know the next time.
- Seems to me this is exactly what you want.
