Thats interesting, however, these iso-sets cover more than one language, 
ie output is a comprehension of several alphabets and others signs.

Needed alphabet to construct and retrieve filenames from it, storing 
there regexps relating to word-beginnings.

Thougt at reading keyboard layouts meanwhile, but assume they also 
deliver more than just a specific alphabet.

For the moment it's done.

Thanks.
