The TextGUI currently supports extended characters, as long as you type them
on the numeric keypad.

I have a vague recollection of writing a program in QBasic that allowed the
user to access the extended characters. It worked by looking for certain
character combinations. For example,

   A+` --> À
   A+' --> Á
   A+^ --> Â
   A+" --> Ã
   A+: --> Ä
   A+o --> Å

This seems a more sensible sort of scheme than expecting people to remember
keycodes. I would think it wouldn't be too hard to hack the SLE to
automagically convert those characters.
