Notes

The standard keyboard shipped with most SGI systems can enter only ASCII characters by default. Configured as shipped, it does not allow Dutch users to enter or use non-ASCII characters needed for Dutch or other European languages.

The Netherlands location makes it possible to use non-ASCII characters with most system tools. The US ASCII with Compose key keyboard layout is exactly like the default layout for the (101-key) US keyboard, except that the right Alt key (the key immediately to the right of the space bar) behaves as a Compose key, which makes it possible to enter many non-ASCII characters. See the compose(5) and composetable(5) man pages for more information about using the Compose key.
