The answer is YES, WordPerfect does do this, through the Compose
feature, if you are using the US/UK English versions.  You can also
purchase foreign lanquage versions of WP that automatically handle all
the diacritical marks, etc.

Look in the WP manual under Compose.  Or, explore:  for instance,
after typing <CTRL>-V, and getting the "Key:" prompt at the bottom of
the screen, type ",c" and <Enter>.  On screen, you will see the Cedilla.

There are two pages of these types in the manual, and you can invent
more.  There is also an appendix (Appendix P) with several built-in
character tables that can be accessed through Compose.

finally, you can use Keyboard Layout (Shift F1,5) in conjunction with
Compose to permanently map composed characters to specific keys.

To do all this, you really need the manual.  Just goes to show you,
sometimes legal copies are great  ;-) !
