   Using a german keyboard it is awkward to type above characters.
   What can I do that those characters can be typed by using the left
   strg + alt combination like in former DOS<4.0 instead of the right AltStr key?

Solution 1: use "keyb us" instead of "keyb gr" (after all OS/2 doesn't
care what is written on the keytops). Works just fine for me.

Solution 2: Brief is my editor of choice. I wrote some macros that
depending on a toggle, either produce the umlauts or the braces when I
hit the ae, oe or sharp-s keys (e.g. ae->{, AE->[, oe->|, OE->\,
ue->}, UE->], sz->~). You'll find that this matches the bastardized
7-BIT ASCII representation of the umlauts and the sharp s.

Solution 3: The is a program in the archives for changing the mappings
contained in KEYBOARD.DCP (or similar). It was desinged for those poor
people with MF2 keyboards that want to reassign the caps-lock and
controll keys, but it should be usable for all kinds of keyboard
reassignments.
