Dear

With respect to the problems of entities I found in WP7 (I read somewhere
in WP8 it should be easier)
the following solution:
Adapt your SGML-declarations with e.g. the following lines:

...

CHARSET
     BASESET "ISO 646-1983//CHARSET International Reference Version
(IRV)//ESC 2/5 4/0"
     DESCSET
          0       9     UNUSED
          9       2     9
          11      2     UNUSED
          13      1     13
          14     18     UNUSED
          32     95     32
          127     1     UNUSED

<ADD THIS>
     BASESET "Upper half of IBM code page 850 (Multilingual - Latin 1)"
     DESCSET 128 128 128
</ADD THIS>

CAPACITY
     PUBLIC "ISO 8879-1986//CAPACITY Reference//EN"

SCOPE
...


Then you have to declare somewhere this CHARSET-file in your map-file
e.g.:



  -- ISO entity sets
...................................................... --

<ADD THIS>
PUBLIC  "Upper half of IBM code page 850 (Multilingual - Latin 1)"
CHARSET CP850.SET
</ADD THIS>

PUBLIC   "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Diacritical Marks//EN"
ENTITIES isodia.ent

PUBLIC   "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Numeric and Special Graphic//EN"
ENTITIES isonum.ent
...


Then recompile your dtd and start an sgml-doc in WordPerfect. When you try
to insert
a special character you will see that the characters (����....) have
become red.
Before you insert the character you have to check a small box below the
character set.
In dutch it says : "Invoegen als teken verwijzing" so I guess in English
it will be
something like : "Insert as character reference". Once you checked it,
click on insert save
your document as SGML.

There is an inconvenience however: open the sgml-document with an
ASCII-editor and you will
see it right away.

These and other explanation are written in the help instruction of the DTD
to LGC-converter,
so not in the help-files of WordPerfect where you might expect it.

I hope I 've been helpful so far. I will continue to look for other
solutions and when I
found them I will let you know.
