re "

Where does one learn these things?

Can you tell me how to type a German umlaut (double quotation mark
over a vowel)?

I still think the Bobert's drawing is of Groucho Marx's glasses. I'm also eagerly waiting to hear what the prize is.

If you use microsoft Word, there is an 'Insert' to click on, which then lets you click on 'Symbol', and lots of letters appear with lots of different accents already on them as well as Greek and Russian letters. when you have composed your message using these you can paste it into the message for posting on mudcat. There may be an easier way, but that's the one I've discovered.

This is fun!
