Ahoy Sean, 

Surely someone is almost always going to! 

Yes I started the thread and it works for me what Flor wrote for OE. 

What exactly Sean do you use that in? 

Say programme, version and the like? 

Just a question! 

Tony !

  Well, seán:

  It works with some letters for me, in Microsoft Word; but not all.  If I 
  use it when I type the Irish word tá, it works: but if I then use it to 
  type sé or sí, I get se or si respectively.  If I use it to type the 
  word í or é, it works.  So while it may work werll for you, it won't 
  work for all.  To be honest, it's also not the handiest key combination. 
  Might as well use that alt-gr key (the name for the joint alt-ctrl key 
  on european keyboard layouts) right next the spacebar.

  Not for me it doesn't work Sean, I have tried in Word.  However if I 
  press
  the right Alt followed by a vowel I get the French acute sign.  Now is 
  that
  the same sign as the fodda?  I have a niece whose name is  órnagh with 
  the
  accent or fodda on the O.  People can never work the name out and find 
  it
  simpler and most irritating for her they just call her Orla!
