[GeoStL] Re: 2008 SLAGA Fall Picnic

- Laptops usually have a NumLock function where you can put a certain set of normally alpha keys in the middle of the keyboard into a numeric keypad configuration like on a normal keyboard. You might try entering the magic keystrokes after putting it in that mode. It MIGHT work. I have not tried it on mine yet, but that would be what I would try.

Here’s one website I’ve used in the past for symbols including the degree symbol. It has a different number to use for the accent over the e.  I’ve never tried it on the laptop but just tried and can’t get it to work even using the fn button.  Must be doing something wrong.

If you're going to spell Molé, please do it right. Otherwise, tnsl might be aright about the purrrrrree of kitty being next.

You can get the é (as in resumé or molé or fiancé by holding alt and typing the number 130 (note, you have to use the keypad, not the row of numbers above the letters. If you have a laptop, you may have to hold fn to access the keypad. Not sure if this trick works on Macs; it doesn't work on Linux.)
