Well, my 101 US Keyboard has 47 key for letters, numbers and printable symbols (not counting the numeric keypad), and with the [Shift] and [Alt Gr] ([Ctr]l-[Alt]) modificators of the US-International driver, each key could have up to four different values... that means up to 188 symbols. -- Carlos Th
