those sideways pointy hat thingies

Lools like they're in the qwerty row all the way over to the right. < is regular and > is shifted. ¿Qué no?

Lemme try.

Ooo, I found them. They are down there at the bottom beside the M <<>>

I hadn't known about pressing on the right ALT key to get a whole new set of character. If I press the left ALT key, my computer goes boop at me. Very odd.

You guys are great. I admit I am a tad ignorant about computers and the assorted paraphernalia. Oddly, I'm a whiz with WORD. [shrug e]

Just suppose : You move to Canada from USA and in the move your keyboard is lost.
So you buy a new keyboard in Montreal.
Now, does that work?
I have a new dog and my brain is mush as we get used to each other.
All these off thoughts keep creeping in. Is it loss of sleep? Stress of a new "relationship?"
Oh, pooh.
Any advice welcome.
Sighhhhh

Well Wow, if you move to Québec,all you have to do is ask for an English keyboard and the trick is done, you can use it with your programmes.

If you get a French keyboard, the keys won't show the right pictures but the keys will still be what you're used to. For example, French keyboards have keys for é, è, ç, and à keys along with accent keys (^ ¨)

============================================================

Ooooo, and what puppy did you wind up with?

The two-year-old female was too much for me ...a love bug but a really adventurous spirit... so she went to ToyDogRescue.org --- located in nearby Massachusetts town, run by a really wonderful gal who does yeoman work in rescuing small dogs --- and was quickly adopted by a single (younger) woman from a town nearby.
"My Boy" aka "Boy" aka "Pal" ... is settling in and it looks like I have a new dog. At least that is his opinion. He is a male, 7-years-old, a bit more settled, a Bichon/Mini-Poodle mix, long legs like a poodle, a curly Bichon coat and curly tail -- a gentleman with a handsome face - my son says I should name him "Judge" because he has that "look!"
Only fault is he loves to get on my bed and barks a lot if I leave him in the car to run into the Post Office etc. but I think that will even out as he really settles in and realizes I will be back. He has a few abandonment issues which will be overcome -in time- with experience and love.
BTW, Bel, could you use the "Q" to precede the question?
Q: Would that work for you.
