I took Irish language classes for a number of years and, besides

Gaeltacht Weekends in New York. But that was quite a few years
ago now. Ach, ta/ beaga/n Gaeilge agam!

(P.S. The slashes after the letters are supposed to be
accent marks.)
:) Wayne B. turned me onto a free program called "AllChars" and now
I can't live without it! I use it mostly for degree marks ° and
accented e = é - but it saves me digging around in the character map
for them. http://allchars.zwolnet.com/
Thanks for that info. I hardly ever write anything in Irish
so it might be more trouble than it's worth to relearn it
whenever I wanted to use it. I can easily make the special
characters in WordPerfect as I type with little effort when I'm
created documents for my own use, etc. For posting on usenet the
slashes work fine as far as I am concerned. I could type it up in
WordPerfect to get the special characters and then copy it into
my post but special characters don't always show up correctly.
When I post a recipe I always have to go through and change
all the special character fractions back to 1/2 and 1/3, etc.,
because they don't come through right. I wonder if the
same would happen if you used this program to create a
document with special characters and then copied it to a post?
Oh, well, as I said it's rare that I write anything required
accent marks these days so I'll just fudge it. But I'll keep
this program info handy in case I decide I want to do more
serious stuff some day.
