This is only a little OT, but I've marked it as such out of
sheer paranoia.
CT = Christian Thalmann
MR = Mark Reed (me)
RM = Roger Mills
CT> Jovian uses preliminal inverted question and exclamation
CT> marks like Spanish, but I can't write them on this fuodinde
CT> Windows machine. =(
MR> Sure you can. Hold down ALT and then type out on the numeric keypad
MR> 0161 or 0191.
RM> Even simpler-- Right Alt-/ and RightAlt-1-- ¿ ¡ (at least if your keybd is
RM> set to US Intl.?)
Hm, that doesn't work for me. I'm running Windows XP; I went
into Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->
Text Services and Input Languages [Details], where I added "United
States- International" to the keyboard list. I then selected that
keyboard via the system tray icon, but those key sequences still
don't produce anything when I type them in Notepad. The ALT+0161
and ALT+0191 sequences work with either keyboard setting, though.
