yep, plan 9 is too qwerty centric.  the typing of the accent
before the character is how french keyboards work -- weird,
cos you don't write it (by hand) like that.

i was doing fine with charles' code until 0x80 was 'special'
in the driver.  to type # i have to go:

3 = the 3 key.

    ?

the euro symbol.
