What should work is a small program called Twinkey, downloadable here: www.prosoft.force9.co.uk/series5/twinkey.html

This program lets you define combinations of key presses for special characters.

BUT: there have been discussions about the program interfering with other programs (e.g. Macro5/Assistant) or even with the entering of the system password in special cases, so be careful.

Greetings from Germany,
Gernot G.

Hello all!

To : Ajai

Thanks, Ajai, for your friendly remark ("unless you have been under a rock for the past year...") on my question re. SONY VAIO P.
Maybe we are a bit backward in France, where I live and where the latter minibook has only been available this month.
For my part I think it would suit me much more than the so-called netbooks because of its reduced size which would allow me to carry it around in my shoulder bag.

Have a nice day.

Stephane (Grenoble, France).

Hi
Anyone looking to sell a 5mx?  I'm leaving next Friday and won't have time to have my cable fixed.
Thanks, Todd (New York City)
