Jarrod Why dont you pick up a "Canadian" keyboard. They are available in town and I believe they have these accented characters on them.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey All, Being the correct person that I am and taking into account that we live in a country with diverse cultural heritage I try to always do things the right way. Case in point: I have been on IRC a bunch lately. Sebastien (notice something wrong) is frequently on there. Well, in Windows I have a tool called charmap. I also am pretty savvy with ASCII codes so am constantly doing the alt+0233 combination to get a e with an acute accent. So I am looking for a similar tool or coping mechanism. I found KCharMap, which unfortunately is not a part of KDE as of yet. I got the installer and attempted to install it (from source I might add). Well it crapped out at ./configure. I am presented with the following error message: "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" so looking at the INSTALL notes I can plug in the path to tell it where to find X includes and X libraries. I do not know where these things live and I don't see any command to suppress this dependency. Anyone have any suggestions? Now before you go searching like mad or wracking your brains. Is there a console command that will give me the character(s) in question? Something like doing the alt+0233 thing? Just curious. I don't really need the GUI tool, in fact I would prefer a console solution if at all possible. Too bad it's not something that is built into apps like the windows alt+0233 thing. Or is it? My searching and Googling has come up with nothing beyond KCharMap. - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPjsMfgCQFPa+bt49AQJgoAP/VoiUXQmmN82mRaRChs3I7IYwUPZAezNs hAFvV89zotoCfzM6ikjVpe7NpJhHJBK7Fv0kFgNJHHQg8+veAEHFGLxz3DgZaog2 dM21YPrntCJ21xOLrBPuxGkcBVMDGVNVxYeyXpvFH71eymugNtWzj2Fuv9C6mpkB MiA72S+YywA= =AqBw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
