Hey all,
Thanks for your replies. I am running Windows XP.
But the characters and shortcuts I refer to (such as the enye, the ñ,
alt-0241) can be typed in any program. I even just did so in Firefox's
address bar.
Murray, I tried your options, but they did not work. I tried them again in
WordPad, and the ctrl-shift-~-n works. But the F! alt-x does not, I can't
avoid the help screen. Can you elaborate on that one? Or are there any
other ideas?
BTW, I saw on the unicode website that the code is 00F1. How is that to be
interpreted?
thanks!
