You're looking for comp.sys.mac.*.  Heck, there might even be a
comp.sys.mac.de someplace for you.

Anyway, it sounds like you've tried "Key Caps" off the Apple menu...but
did you really play with it?  You can change the font using the Key Caps
menu, and remember you can also see what the SHIFT and OPTION keys do to
the keyboard map using that program.  Hold down your OPTION key while
looking at the Key Caps keyboard map and see if that helps.

When I set my IIgs keyboard and display language to "German" I get the @
symbol with a Shift-3 in GS/OS programs, but in BASIC I get a funny little
symbol I've not seen before, and I see no "@" character.
