[openi18n-im:01378] Re: Help with defining a new module

Thank to all for your answers, and in particular to Hideki and Jens 
since their suggestions worked, and now I can write \lambda and 
yupppieee it prints λ (as the previous char shows as I did it in 
Thunderbird by iiimf)!

Now I can start to complete the table for most Latex symbols but before 
doing that I will abuse once more of your kindness and ask two more 
questions:

1) How can I specify codepoints instead of character in the [ phrase ] 
section? I was expecting that I had to write something like
\boxdot	0x22A1
\vdash	0x22A2
\dashv	0x22A3
with some escape character. I read on the SUN document by Sriram 
Swaminathan, Hideki Hiura, and Steve Swales (excellent reading BTW) that 
there are wildcard default characters * ? but all the combinations I 
could immagine (*0x22A1? ?0x22A1? *x22A1; *22A1? etc, etc) did not work. 
How should I do it?



2) How can obtain, if I can, subscripts and superscripts, that is when I 
write ^a then a appears in a superscript. I really have not a cue about it.

Thanks again
