I'm trying to remap some of the RT's extended character set
in order to develop a non-english version of a program.  In
order to do this, I would like to map characters from code
pages 1 and 2 into code page 0.  I think I can do this using
the Unique character set definitions but I'm running into
real difficulties.

As an example, I would like to map the character at 
code page 1 code point 136 (Z overdot) to display whenever
my program outputs the value \0335.  This will correspond to
an X/OPEN character set mapping.  I'm using an 6155 display and
adapter and if I use the SS1 and SS2 characters it works
fine.  But I really want to use single 8-bit characters
for my output so that I can match X/OPEN.

I have managed to map my keyboard input.

I'm slowly making my way through the tech manuals (OS and VRM)
but I keep getting confused.
