Are you trying to use a Greek keyboard layout and Greek characters system-wide, or do you only need it in a word processor? IIRC you can set up your own keyboard layout in Papyrus, have you tried this? > Secondly, Jo Even's program doesn't support dead keys.

KeyEdit doesn't support dead keys because there is no support for dead keys in the TOS/MiNT keyboard handler. If you need deadkeys, you must install CKBD (Google it). I have not used it for many years so I'm not sure how/if it works with recent MiNT-kernels.
