That's really GREAT! But, wait a minute. I want a mathematical symbol
set including all the Greek characters to be in the (default) extra
character set rather than IBM PC's set or ISO 8514(?)
foreign language character sets.
Seems like we need a window based terminal and a word-processer-like
editor program to use the new TeX 3.0 and to see the typed-in characters
in the {..}.tex file. Probably, the GNUemacs Version 20 will show those
on X Windows machines or NeXTs. Am I right?
