Greek font - keyboard mapping problem

Background-- Greek Macintoshes come with special fonts that contain both
English as usual and Greek (in the high page of ASCII, perhaps?).  Typing
Command-Space toggles btwn English and Greek mode.

  Well, I have with me a system that did all that on a Mac Plus in Greece.
When I try to use it here (in Oregon) I can view Greek files fine, but
Command-space has no effect, so there is no way to enter a Greek character.
(Not even by keeping down the option key etc.) I can, however, cut and paste
Greek text.

  I am guessing that whatever the European/International keyboard sends on 
command-space the American one doesn't.  So: Does someone know how I can 
generate the required code on an American keyboard?  Or what the problem
_really_ is??

I have:
  System 4.1 - N 6  (Greek version)
  Finder 5.5 - N 6	(ditto)
  Macwrite 4.6    	(vanilla)

Any sort of help, or suggestions on who would know, will be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Alexis Dimitriadis
