I think there's spinach also.<BR/><BR/>Good memory, Cindra, and welcome back.<BR/><BR/>OK, JD, here's your lesson. The tilde is made over any character by first holding down the option key and hitting "n," then the character which I think will always be another n. So Mañana is typed M - a- option+n - n - a - n -a. In Spanish vowels are always pronounced the same so the acute accent mark is used to indicate that some syllable other than the second-to-last is emphasized when speaking. To make that symbol, you hold down option and press e before you type the vowel in the accented syllable. So, the name Alarcón is typed as A - l - a -r - c- option+e - o - n. ¿Entiendes? Oh, right the ¡ is option+1 and ¿ is option+shift+1.<BR/><BR/>TLP, sad to say I had the camera put in the hands of a friend to take pictures and she somehow assumed I just wanted her to hold it for me. I did try to take one of myself with my phone. If it turned out I'll post it. *ACHOO!*Doug The Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753071669562594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-54692625561721815172007-12-13T19:11:00.000-08:002007-12-13T19:11:00.000-08:00You're playing Santa again?
