    Do you support the translation mechanism, like, e.g. xterm does ?

    It's very convenient for us here in Greece, since all Greek characters
are >128 (what you call ``8-bit characters'').  So, we have translations
to provide something like a Greek/Latin mode for the keyboard, so that,
for example, when in Greek mode, the user-typed `a' the character
`alpha' is sent.  Even more modes for accented letters and the like...

    So, does idraw (and its friends :-) support translations (or
something similar enough ?).

Somebody said it couldn't be done  /  But he with a chuckle replied,
Maybe it couldn't, but he would be one  /  Who never said no till he tried.
So he buckled right in  /  With a brace and a grin
                                       And if he was worried, he hid it,
He started to sing  /  As he tackled the thing
                                       That couldn't be done
                                       And he did it.
