Dear Linda and other English-speaking people,

Yes, that is correct Röding is the same as Roeding, for the time when
computers would not do umlauts and other signs. Now, they all do, and it
just takes a little figuring out. Each program has it's own way of
inserting these, but a usually foolproof method is the Alt-key and the
number keypad on the right side of your computer keyboard (note that you
may have to have the number-lock key pressed before it will work and type
the three-digit number on the number keypad while holding either of the two
the Alt keys).

Now repeat after me:

Alt-129 = ü
Alt-130 = é
Alt-135 = ç
Alt-136 = ë
Alt-147 = ô
Alt-148 = ö
Alt-149 = ò
Alt-160 = á
Alt-162 = ó

So now we all expect your shell labels to be perfect!

Patty
