[sw-l] Sign Puddle: SPANISH

[Charles Butler]

Right now I have to type in an independent program like Word, which does support accents through Command + (like command ~ + a gets you a tilde over an a) but I can't currently do this through Sign Puddle.  I have to import the word typed elsewhere.

Dear SW List and James and Dan!
Typing all the symbols you need in any spoken language is
important...You are both right about that!!

And people already type with those accents in Sign Puddle...Take a look
at the attached screen capture of the Swiss-French Sign Puddle...see
the accents on the words?...I will teach you how next message, if I
can!!!...Thanks for your input on this...Val ;-)
