How? > I apologize if this has been answered in some FAQ list. Install a second language keyboard with the US International layout. This will make the ', ", `, ^ and ~ keys so called 'dead keys'. That means that they will not be entered in the text directly, but will try to combine themselves with the next character that follows. So pressing " followed by e will produce ë, ' followed by e with produce é. And if you want the accent characters on their own, type the key followed by a space. You can configure your system so you can switch between different keyboard layouts using a hot key. The default hotkey to switch is Alt-Left Shift. -- Robert van der Hulst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!
