G'day Diesel,

Most of the accents you need to wite correctly accented Gaelic ... or French ... or German ... &c ... are in the "second half" of the standard "ASCII Set" of letters &c on your computer. The "first half" is what you get by typing on the keyboard ... to get the others needs some simple code.

The codes I use are the "alt key" set (there are other ways to get the same thing). As ome example, to accent céad (just as I would accent café), I type 'c' then hold down "alt" while typing '0233' to get the 'é' ... then type 'a' and 'd'. There should be tables of this in textbooks somewhere but, if you can't find one, PM me an address and I will e-mail you an MS Word file I created of the second half characters and their codes.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
