 non-standard characters? Hi Could anyone tell me how to get non-standard characters like in german and scandinavian languages? I seem to remember that you can do that by giving special key-strokes  Greetings nervus

| umlaut letters: alt-u and then the letter. so äüö ø = alt-o úíóáó come with alt-e and letter. ãõñ come with alt-n. âîôû come with alt-i. å = alt-a. ¥ = alt -y. I wish I remembered the combination for the letters with the accent the other way. I will need it soon.

| I did not find the right ' on my new keyboard. Also, the keyboard layout decides what combinations work. In Italian keyboard some letters are different from those in US so to get the yen sign, the tilde etc, i need to find the right combo for that key on the specific (if non-US) keyboard.

| There is also the character palette, which yo ucan put in your menubar: very usefull for even less-standard characters ... like all kinds of arrows, crosses, stars, asterisks, ornamental punctuation, and useful things like mathematical symbols and parantheses.
