What's the easiest way to produce characters with accents above them? I'm reading a book that has occasional passages in french, and spanish and I can't translate them fully with an online translator without being able to produce characters with accents.

alt and number keys like 133

oh i forgot to say use the number keys on the right of the keyboard..
you'll see the characters you want starting at ALT and 128 through 150

é 130 É 144
â 131 Â 0194
ä 132 Ä 142
à 133 À 0192
ç 135 Ç 128
ê 136 Ê 0202
ë 137 Ë 0203
è 138 È 0200
ï 139 Ï 0207
î 140 Î 0206
ô 147 Ô 0212
ù 151 Ù 0217
û 150 Û 0219
ü 129 Ü 154
tell me if i missed any you need

you can only do that with magic, mike. god, have you learned nothing from those countless d and d sessions?

character map. i thought that was extinct. i've been sitting here the whole time cursing the world for getting rid of windows 3.1

i think it's funny that Alt 666 is Ü

as in.. Motley CrÜe or Fackin BRÜTAL
