In my student days, I think all you had to do was press ALT or CTRL or one of those function buttons and then comma or circonflexe and then the letter and it added the accent...wasn't too difficult but I'm fuzzy on the exact details for now since I grad'ed ages ago. I could try to refresh the brain for u but I think u'll beat me to it :) PK, there’s another way to do accents w/o remembering those number codes.

It's a little like the Compose key that Suns and other Unix machines have. If you need the facility under Windows, Allchars - http://allchars.zwolnet.com/ - does the job for free. But what I really like is the Character Palette under OS X. It lives under the little flag on the menu bar, and you can access and insert almost any Unicode character by grouping, or search by name. It's great! ☚ It’s neat when you discover this. It’s a little like the Compose key that Suns and other Unix machines have.
