I assume you have a Hercules graphics-plus card. You can use the Hercules Fontman program to modify the WP 5.0 HRF files to display Greek on the screen. I have created WP keyboard macros that allow me to enter all accents instantaneously. Of course, you will have to modify the PRS file in appropriate ways. I have it set up so that whever I choose "outline" I get Greek characters, and my printer will print Greek. But equally well substitute Greek characters for something else (shadow, or very large, for example). WordPerfect 5.1, however, should solve all these problems, since it is supposed to display and print all possible characters. But I assume you will still need a graphics card.
