Even on Russian sites, I only found keyboards with both. Not a problem. This is the first time I've looked for anything with a totally different alphabet, so this works. And it's interesting. Computer programming started in English and works just fine using that small set of letters and symbols. I can't see that any more characters would ever be needed, so maybe that set should be looked at as programming language derived from English but not English. Chris Bennett
