Hello Rich,
I will answer on the other questions later, going to be in Nuernberg for
the next days.
With *proper* solution I mean either a proper keymap or a fix in the
emulator. Whatever seems to be the proper solution after a good deep look
at the problem.
I tend to believe it would be better to use a "d_pc" keymap variant under
UAE since those things are actually PC keyboards. But with the d_pc
keymap those special apostrophes are not available. I guess they where
under Amithlon, I have no machine at hand to test right now, I never
tried to install Amithlon onto my ThinkPad.

Yes. I think I will look into *fixing* the d_pc one. But to me its still
not clear what a proper fix would be. All I can do right now is a
symptomatical fix that will fix it for me. Whether its a general solution
and whether its the proper solution I do not know then.
