Thanks for the info. I was hoping not to have to use the codes.

Hopefully this part will actually be helpful. :) If you google in extended ASCII chart, you'll find a tonne, including http://www.asciitable.com/ You can either cheat and copy and paste from the table OR you can learn the code + ALT key combinations. Bear in mind that you're not meant to use the numerals above qwerty but rather the number pad to the right. Some times you needs fidget with the numlock key. Cheers, Brooke

If you use GNU/Linux or a similar system on the desktop, there are "dead keys" which you can type to put an accent on the following character: AltGr and ; puts an acute over the next letter, for example. Or you can use the Compose key to combine the next two characters. Its location is configurable, but I think the default is often Shift+AltGr, so Shift+AltGr then ' then e will produce an e-acute. The Free and Open Source Software http://allchars.zwolnet.com/ adds this useful idea to Windows, mapping it to a control key.
