A/S ships with several pre-installed character remapping sets. Remapping sets can be removed, created, edited, and imported from other copis of A/S using the Edit Add/Strip application.
New remapping sets are added to the bottom of the Mapping menu when A/S is launched, with the first ten sets receiving command key equivalents from 0 to 9. Sets that remap characters immediately after a line is read from disk are italicized.
A check mark is placed to the left of the current remapping set. Choose Mac Character Set from the Mapping menu to turn off character remapping. The currently selected remapping set’s name is stored in settings files.
Here is a brief description of each of the character remapping sets that ship with A/S:
