[apluslist] setting-up A+ fonts for Xemacs

[Pedro Rodrigues de Almeida]

Hello Sasha,

Thanks for the hint.

I managed to run Xemacs - yes, F4 opens the A+ window and when I press 
Meta-I 3 then only thing I get is the Sterling Pound symbol (which is 
not even available in my keyboard...).

If I press return nothing happens, i.e., no number sequence is 
generated (I suppose that is what Meta-I 3 generates, right?). This 
means the fonts are displayed correctly but the keys do not translate 
to the right characters, I suppose...

Should I get another keyb.el file (the one I use is located at 
/usr/local/aplus-fsf-4.18/lisp.1/) or modify any of the .el files under 
this directory?

Cheers,

Pedro
