You just try switching back and forth between American-style QWERTY, International English QWERTY (which puts at least one or two additional keys on the keyboard and moves a few of the non-alphanumeric keys around), Belgian/French/Dutch AZERTY (because they have so many diacritic characters, you have to hit at least three keys in order to get to any of the numbers or alphanumeric characters that English speakers are used to), and then try doing all that while mixing-and-matching any of the specified keyboard types with the corresponding software keyboard maps. It's enough to drive you insane.... > My advice is not terribly sophisticated from a medical standpoint.

Bottom line -- you basically have to try doing different things different ways until you find something that works for you. Well, that's assuming that you can find something that works for you at all. 1/2 ;-) -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> Do you hate Microsoft? Do you hate Outlook?
