inserting accented characters

> I would like to make it as easy for users to insert accented characters.

I had this same problem...  I just put a little popup menu next to the field
(you could also put it in the menubar) that displays the special characters:





-




-




-




-




-



Then I use this script in the button:

on menuPick theItem
  put the id of the selectedField into tFieldID
  put word 4 of the selectedChunk into tChunk
  put theItem after char tChunk of field id tFieldID
end menuPick


Hope this helps...
