On my (UTF-8) system the apostrophe key can be used. -- the apostrophe key is a dead acute; it places an acute above the following letter. -- to get an apostrophe by itself, press apostrophe followed by SPACE, or AltGr-apostrophe. -- to get an acute (unicode number 0xb4) by itself, press the apostrophe key twice. This should also work if your locale is not of the UTF-8 kind, e.g. de_DE.iso88591. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
