              setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_7
              stty pass8

         Note: If this doesn't work your copy of tcsh was probably not compiled
         with NLS support or possibly it's version 6.03 or lower.

    Apo to documentation toy vim (:help langmap):
     langmap(lma):
         This option allows support for keyboards that have a mode for a
         special language.  The idea is that when you are typing text in
    Insert mode your keyboard is switched in the special language mode, you
    get different key codes for the special characters.  When in command
    mode the 'langmap' option takes care of translating these special
    characters to the original meaning of the key.  This means you don't
    have to change the keyboard mode to be able to execute normal mode commands.

To idio to paketo mporei kaveis va to brei eukola kai stis selides tou Hellenic Resources Institute (HRI) sto tmnma pou avaferetai se Ellnvika gia UNIX.

    =====================================================================
         emacs :
            In version 19.26 or later of GNU emacs you can simply  set the
            environment variable LC_CTYPE to iso_8859_7 like you do for tcsh
            and elm. If you use an older version put the following in your
            /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp/default.el file:

              (standard-display-european t)

              (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
                      (nth 1 (current-input-mode))
                      0)

         Dead key functionality should work under GNU emacs provided you use
         GNU emacs v19.30 or higher and XFree86 v3.1.2 or higher, so don't
         start researching available elisp packages implementing "electric
         keys" or anything like that. If you want to implement European
         keyboard conventions in emacs without upgrading the best choice is
         probably the remap package available from the AUC FTP server (see
         section ``References and FTP sites''.)

Some versions of elm require that you put the following definitions in your /.elm/elmrc/ file:

              charset = iso-8859-7
              displaycharset = iso-8859-7

    =====================================================================
    ftp://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/ispell/languages/ (???)

         ispell - Spell checking in Danish:
            First make sure you install version 3.1 instead of version 4.0
            of ispell.  The latter is obsolete and multiply brain-damaged.
            You can download the sources for ispell at the GNU archive at
            prep.ai.mit.edu, and you can get a Danish dictionary via FTP
            from ftp.iesd.auc.dk in /pub/packages/dkispell/. Follow the
            compilation instructions and you should have no trouble (One
            caveat: When defining the variables necessary for compilation
            you should slightly confusingly tell ispell that Linux is a Sys
            V type OS by defining the variable USG.)
            When you have installed the Danish dictionary for ispell you
            can check the spelling of a Danish language file by executing
            the command:

            ispell -d danish -T latin1 -w "??????" <your_danish_text_file>

            (Note for non-Danish readers: You can find dictionaries for most
            Western languages by reading the file Where included with the
            sources for ispell.)
