Well, I guess we were over-optimistic as we thought that purchasers of SAM
would see that Icon for the ReadMeFirst file and read that file before
doing anything else. That file does direct folks to the !Help! online
documentation.

1) Fire up any GS/OS word processor, or use Spectrum's Editor. Press the
Option key, along with all the alphanumeric keys, and look at the
results.
 
2) If you own Pointless, open up the Pointless Control Panel, click on a
font, click display, click the option to display all characters. Click on
characters you might want to use, and note what key equivalent Pointless
tells you is associated with that character.
 
3) If you own TypeSet, generate a Report for key equivalents. This
produces a chart of all Option Key equivalents.
 
4) I think that there are some freeware or shareware Desk Accessories
that'll display all the characters in a font, but the ground ftp site
doesn't seem to be accessible at the moment, so I can't tell you exactly
what's available online. When ground becomes available again, take a look
at font utilities.
 
5) I'm sure there are many, many other methods available as well. I seem
to remember that SuperConvert will generate a chart of all characters in
a font.
