I'm sure it'll come some time... Like backing up. I'm sure that'll be possible some time too. -- Peter

In fact, I found quite handy when away from the 'real' keyboard (an Apple Wireless that I'd bought months ago for the purpose), I find it useful when talking to people in Spanish to switch keyboard to a Spanish layout -which I'd never used in a computer but does kind of make sense once you get used to that and to the switching. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com
