To reply on my own mail, this was stupid. It's a RISC OS thing, it won't
help you in Windows. Apologise.
I use both RISCOS and Windows. I find the easiest way is simply to remember (or write down) the ASCII codes for the characters I use frequently. For example in RISCOS é is Alt-233 and ö is Alt-246. In Windows these codes are prefixed by a zero (e.g. Alt-0233). It's necessary to use the left-hand Alt key and the numeric keypad.
