Maybe if we have an international keyboard, and I think Windows, rather than
Mac? I used to use the above method when I typed using Wordperfect in DOS a
long time ago.
For the standard US keybaords (M/soft) we can use the Alt codes, or the
Insert option in the compose-message window (which for frequent work is too
billy-bob in Netscape). I prefer the Alt codes.
For a website about Alt codes, go here:

For Mac users, there is Key Caps option in the Apple menu, if it is
installed, where you can choose special characters.
Lace content: all going well, you should see "Tønder" as she is
spelled
ø = Alt 0248
Some e-mail programs convert the code to more code, and some readers will
see gibberish instead of the symbol.
If I am having to type other characters often, e.g. if I'm typing a
paragraph from a German lace book into a translator, I'll copy them into a
message window from which I can cut and paste individual characters as
required.
