If you're a MAC user, you already know from the myriad responses pointing at option-whatever how to generate the sequences. If you're a PC/DOS user, you deserve whatever you get. But your text-editor may support macros. I used Multi-Edit when I was DOSsing, and it did. Ask your manufacturer. If you're using OS/2, I'm sorry. The 850 codepage supports the characters « and », but I don't know how to help you generate them other than alt-123 If you're using X, and you don't already know how to generate these characters, RTFM: xmodmap. If you can't make it work, your license to use Linux will be revoked. Nobody who can't use xmodmap should be allowed to own a keyboard. If you're using Windows, specific reference is made to the following URL: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q306560 I quote (using alt-[ and alt-], which now do « and » for me, respectively): «««««« Adding the United States-International Keyboard Layout To add the United States-International keyboard layout, follow these steps: Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

The Text Services and Input Languages dialog box appears. Under Installed services, click Add. The Add Input language dialog box appears. In the Input language list, click the language that you want.

In the Keyboard layout/IME list, click United States-International, and then click OK. In the Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your computer list, click Language name - United States-International (where Language name is the language that you selected in step 6), and then click OK. In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK. Notice that the Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you position the mouse pointer over it, a ToolTip appears that describes the active keyboard layout. For example, United States-International.

The United States-International keyboard layout is selected. »»»»»» NOW: At this point, Meestaire ISO-phobic Amairecain Programmaire, you have achieved keyboard parity with the average Swiss six-year-old child. Don't let this happen again. We can't afford a keyboard-gap! Yes, living below the earth in salt mines, with a properly chosen ratio of nubile females to fertile males, say ten for every one, it will be possible to ... erk. sorry. (*) The URL goes on to list all the cool keys you can generate, but two things: 1- You've probably got a little [EN] icon in your taskbar. Make sure to switch to the international flavor (either using leftALT-Shift in a window, or by mousing the [EN] taskbar icon) before pounding away at your new ¶erlified keyboard. 2- The IME only uses rightALT for key composition. Those of you whose right thumbs have been amputated in freak mine accidents will have to pursue more accessibility features. =áµßþíñ (International Man of Mystery) * -- Speaking of Dr. Strangelove, happy 50th birthday to "Mike." November 1, 1952, saw the detonation of "Mike", the worlds first hydrogen bomb. "Elugelab, the Pacific island on which Mike exploded, was erased by the blast. When told that Elugelab was 'missing', America's president-elect, Dwight Eisenhower, visibly paled." (Economist) Here's to 50 years of unemployment.
