So page 60 here:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins8500/en/8500/OM/8600/i8600-om.pdf
does not work, even though you have an Inspiron?

No. I have an Inspiron 1545, not an 8600. The 1545 /does not have a
numeric pad/. Period. Unless I can purchase an add-on, which I have no
interest in doing.

I prefer to use the US-International keyboard layout to access accented
characters.
