I guess it is probably pointless to mention the extreme ease with which this
can be done using WordPerfect 5.1?  E.g., the c with inverted caret is
simply <ctrl 2> <1> <,> <99>.  Virtually any umlaut, grave, accute, tilde,
caret, or macron in the Roman alphabet is possible, and even Greek, Hebrew,
Cyrillic, Hiragana and Katakana.  As well as a whole bunch of totally COOL
symbols.  If you do this sort of thing often enough, it might be worth the
switch.
