Alt accent key? I don't know what that is. Would you mind finding it on th4e 
Insert 4 list of characters and showing me? Alt accent? I'm not trying to be 
funny. I can recognize French, I can read and write Spanish, and I am 
familiar with a lot of the diacritical marks of German. But I never saw, 
during my sighted reading life, anything printed in English, whether 
published in the U.S. or in England (or elsewhere where British English is 
spoken) that had any diacritical marks of any sort, not in English words, 
let alone anything that went by the name "alt accewnt." Thanks for showing 
me this character.

Now exactly what difference would there be with British Englishin terms of
the keyboard, and I do *not* mean a spoken accent from a speech synth.?
We're not talking the Cyrillic, Greek or Arabic alphabet, so what's the
difference?

Hi this is your keyboard input langwige command.  You can set it to what
ever outputs you have installed.  Here I can not set it to anything because
I only have us English installed so I will always be told no change.  Hth

Is this a Jaws command or a Windows command?  Alt plus shift toggles a
setting which makes Jaws say alternatively, English Canada then English
United states.

Remember some people were talking about Jaws starting to announce English
United States?  I accidentally hit alt+shift one day and heard that
announcement.  I hit it again and it said English Canada.

I checked to be sure the language bar is off.  I even went so far as to also

turn it of in Jaws options, basic settings, windows system parameters.

I just alt tabbed from the Jaws window back to this OE window and Jaws said
English Canada.  I had toggled the setting to Canada and Jaws was telling me

that what it is set to for this window or application.  It only makes the
announcement if the language is different from the previous window.
