MODULE Test;

IMPORT TextViews, TextModels, Views;

PROCEDURE Do*;
VAR m: TextModels.Model; wr: TextModels.Writer;
BEGIN
m := TextModels.dir.New();
wr := m.NewWriter(NIL);
wr.WriteChar(0E9X);
Views.OpenView(TextViews.dir.New(m))
END Do;

END Test.

opens a text view which contains an e egue. The codes for all characters
are listed in the character set table. You find a link to this table on the
map to the Oberon/F documentation.

For typing them use the key-strokes the OS offers, on the MacOS
for example option-e e for e egue.
