Hello Jack; The standard ASCII set in english is lacking in
proper accents for French and most others.
Here is a work around.
babelfish.altavista.digital.com
go there and type the word or words in english, then click
translate. The results will include the accents which you
can copy to clip board and paste.
IE French:
Est-ce que bon monsieur de deuil, il un jour si agr‚able, peut j'est-il vous aider avec quelque chose?
----------
Spanish:
Buen sir de luto, ‚l es un d¡a tan agradable, puede yo ayudarle con cualquier cosa?
------------------------
Other wise you would need to load.
KEYB at stratup which Starts the Keyb program, which configures a keyboard for a specific language.
This would be very unhandy and require rebooting to get back
to english. ( maybe you can change it back I'm not sure )
any way Keyb is used to configure a keyboard for a language other than United States English.
For an introduction to the Keyb program, see the chapter
"Customizing for International Use" in the MS-DOS User's Guide.
---------------------------------------------
You may enjoy the above url in other ways also. I think loading
Keyb would be a real pain unless you needed to do a considerable
amount of work in another language.

Ps : If using netscape use Clrl+N to open a new browser, ( I
often run with 2 to 4 copies of netscape open. NOTE
This is not the same as opening a second full Netscape from your
desk top..that will cause the second netscape to load all
the plugins again and use much more memory, were using
Ctrl+n gives you a second copy of netscape without using
up much memory at all.
Also you copy & paste info between browsers with out haveing
to change urls..IE you could keep one browser set to the
translate page and just hop between them.
Also when the internet gets crowded and urls get slow I go to
polling several urls at one time. With charts running in one browser,
quotes in another, news in a third, and maybe SI in still
another. I detest waiting for an overloaded backbone to get
information back.
-------------------
To many one who reads this, don't try it on a proxy IPS such
as AOL..you really need a regular ISP connection.
-----------------------
I may add that anyone using AOL needs to know that AOL and other
propritory systems use a pageing system to the internet
and info only gets refreshed in certain time frames, like
getting real time stuff over AOL is a joke. You really get
the info from the last time their system updated that page
on thier server, ( cache ). On AOL you are locked into thier system which is acting like a middle man to the internet. It blows my
mind that people would use AOL,
say to try to get real time quotes.
