[comp.sys.dec] COMPOSE key - doesn't work as ALT for DECWRITE on workstation

   I am posting this for a friend of mine who doesn't have access
to USENET, so please respond directly to mlevin@jade.tufts.edu.

   I am Running Ultrix 4.1 on a VaxStation II/RC workstation, with all
the DecWindows stuff. In DECWrite, the Compose-Character key of the
keyboard is supposed to serve as the ALT key (and, on my workstation
before I updated to Ultrix 4.1, it did so). But now, when I press the
compose-character key, the compose-character light lights up on the
keyboard, and it doesn't work as ALT for DecWrite. Is there some sort
of setup (on DecWrite, or maybe on DECTerm) that allows one to modify
the action of the compose-character key? Thanks in advance.
