Polytonic Typing

I forget the actual term. Greek with acute, grave, and circumflex accents rather than 
just one. Again, I can't remember exactly what that distinction is called, so I just 
described it with a term that sounded good to me.

I basically want to type ancient Greek. Modern Greek word processors and keyboards 
are easy to come by. The older stuff is more difficult.

Sorry if I confused anybody.
