Hello everybody

Thanks for the feedback of all of you.

This appeared to be the key to a solution, however in a slightly different way.
I shifted the COMPOSE key function from ALT-GR to APPLICATION or
'MENU' - as suggested above.  Now, I do get the € sign: via ALT-GR +
e-key and via ALT-GR+ 5-key. Probably because:...
* I assigned the € function via XKB options to both the 5 and the e keys.
* the COMPOSE key function conflicted with the  € sign, when ALT-GR was compose.

I am happy with this solution anyway. Thanks for your feedback.

Bas.
