I am running Epoch 3.2.0. on a sun4 with a french keyboard. My problem is the following:
To get special characters like \,^ or @ with such a keyboard you have to hold down a key called Alt and to hit the key corresponding to the special character you want but holding down the key Alt makes the cursor to jump at the beginning of the paragraph and inserts the sequence -1z. 
Anybody knows how to fix this problem ?
