When you say the latest rev engine, do you mean 2.8? I have only 2.7, if I bought 2.8 would I have to install Vista? What about testing on Window XP then?

Re: Umlaut--Success!
Good morning Devin I have still got no success (on Mac10.4.8 and Rev 2.6) The fld "result" is set to "verdana,unicode", but only n appears. Could it be that I need Rev 2.8? However, I have not tried your suggested settings with "Enable the Unicode Hex Input method in the International system prefs under the input tab. This will cause the Unicode Hex Input method to appear in the input menu (the one with the little flags on the right side of the menubar.) First because my system is in Norwegian and I did not find the input menu, and secondly because my potential users cannot be bothered by doing this. (Or am I completely wrong? Is this setting in Revolution somewhere?)

Re: Umlaut--Success!
Hello Devin, Nor did it work on Mac 10.4 and Revolution 2.6. I've spent half a day making images with n+umlaut for textsize 14 and 16 in ordinary colour and in my selection colour.

Re: FOREIGN ACCENTS

This sequence > doesn't work on PC's. there must be a way to put accent marks over > vowels on PCs. What do our European friends do? My PC version of my Ciao David, Just hold down the Shift key and press once the accent key (the one to the left of the backspace key), nothing appears on the screen. Then write the vowel and both accent and the vowel appear at the same time. (For the accent aigu you have to hold down the AltGr key.) I assume you wanted to type it, if you want to make the program do it for you you may find the chartonum of "ò" (= 152) and use put the numtochar of "152" after fld MyFld In order to find the various numtochar, use the msg box put the chartonum of "ò" put the chartonum of "é" etc (You write the accented letters as indicated above.) Because of Windows I sometimes use a palette (one for each platform) with the relevant accented letters for my students, this is even more relevant for the students in French because of "ç, ", cedille, trema etc. The student just clicks on the letter on the palette and the program inserts it in the field. Just ask me if there are further problems. If someone is interested I may make a small example and upload it to Rev Online.
