Define a foreign language keyboard in HP-Ux CDE, with the AltGrkey?

[Franz Roters]

Hi all,

I encounter the same problem.

However, the Alt-Gr key works when I am using Exceed to log in.
Therefore I do not belief its a problem with the HP machine.

The Alt-Gr key also works in the cygwin bash for me.

Regards

Franz
