Sandra Martin writes that there already exist defined keystroke sequences "that
allow users to create any Latin-2 character with an ASCII-only keyboard."  I'd
love to hear the details -- can anyone tell me what these are?  Where do such
keystroke conventions come from?

Latin-2 characters are intended to handle Albanian, Czech, German, Hungarian,
Polish, Rumanian, Serbocroatian (the Latin-alphabet form, of course), Slovak,
and Slovene.  So basically East Europe.

I don't have a machine-readable listing of the 96 upper-half characters, so I'm
reluctant to do all that typing from the ISO document!
