Also, if you are using MS word or word pad as the editor, you can produce accented characters by hitting ctrl+<accent key> followed by a letter key, for instance to get "a with accent" using word you would type ctrl+', a. At least this works when using a standard us keyboard layout. It unfortunately does not work in the regular windows edit control, or the custom edit used by Firefox.
