     Great! We are gradually piecing together a panorama.  Can
anyone tell whether Hewlitt Packard uses ISO 8859-5?

     The acessibility of ASCII on Russian keyboards
in English (programming) mode still worrys me. For example,
I have a USA Mac keyboard in front of me. Here are the
ASCII diacritics available without any modifier
key:

 `-=[]\;',./*+<space><return>

And here are those available with Shift:

 ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?

PPS.  Apologies for the double posting from me; that message took over 24
hours to get back to me. And I have not yet seen the message of
Vladimir that Petr is quoting!  Are the sunspots bothering
internet?
