Does anyone know how to edit keymaps?  I tried looking at them with a 
binary editor but couldn't spot any pattern.

I would like to use the typographical symbols (quotes, em-dash etc.) which
are there in some of the decent CG or PS fonts with WW, FW etc., but
ignored by almost all the Amiga programs.  I would like to remap them to
some of the weird symbols (a,u with strange accents for example). 

I did try a keymap editor, but Wordworth didn't seem to use the new symbols 
in its fonts - not the ones I wanted anyway.  I know they are there, as that 
TypeSmith demo on Aminet CD something recognised them - ASCII around 170.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Trevor
