Umlaut support

[Erik Zuurbier]

Georg,
There is a way to display 'any' character, namely by using a back-slash
followed by the character's numeric representation, e.g. \012.
I have used it to display all kinds of different accents and umlauts.
I also found out that those characters are in general not portable from
the Mac to Windows 95 :-(
