Hi Jeff,
why not include an optional key mapping for system/ports/input? Perhaps
system/ports/input/state/misc could be used for this, if it is not already
being used for something else?
Then the input of Umlaut characters could be replaced by brackets before
they are passed to REBOL for processing and to the console output.
