Hello,

when writing articles for german Amiga print magazine "Amiga-Magazin" I 
often need the two french apostrophes like

»Shared Library«

(I hope they are shown okay here)

Here in KMail I can get these on a german keyboard by typing AltGr-X and 
AltGr->. With "xev" this is:

AltGr:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 5969151, (-318,397), root:(436,426),
    state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen 
YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

Y:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 5970487, (-318,397), root:(436,426),
    state 0x80, keycode 52 (keysym 0xab, guillemotleft), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "«"

X:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 5970846, (-318,397), root:(436,426),
    state 0x80, keycode 53 (keysym 0xbb, guillemotright), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "»"

But under GoldED Studio AIX in UAE I get different characters instead. 

Beside doing copy&paste I didn't found a way to get those characters under 
UAE. Any hints?
