prosper question

[Raphael Clifford]

Sorry if these are dumb questions but I am using Weiss's prosper layout 
and can't seem to get a couple of things on the title page. The first is 
the two dots of the "e" in  my name (Raphael).  It is ASCII 137 if that 
helps and would normally be done in latex as \"{e}. The second is that I 
need to add "lecture notes based on those of ..." but none of the 
headings seem to allow me to do that. At the moment I have title, 
author, institution, email, date used on that page. The other headings 
such as "standard" do not seem to show the text I am adding.

In fact the date doesn't show either come to think of it.

Cheers,
Raphael
