Jay,

This is a two-step procedure.

First you have to define the Omega character as a command, e.g.

 <Command CharOmega	
   <Label Omega>	
   <Definition \x57>
 >	In Symbol Font Only


Then you have to define the menu entry for it, e.g.

   <Add CharOmega	
      <Menu SpecialSymbols>
   >

You could modify the cmds.cfg for adding the definition and then the
menus.cfg for adding the entry. But it would be better to simply
create a custom .cfg file that contains the definition and menu
addition. Then you would use the View > Menus > Modify... option to
select your custom configuration when you want to activate it.

Note: you still need to manually switch to an appropriate symbol font
for the correct character to appear when inserted with this method
(otherwise you'll only see a "W").
