Damned Philip,

this could have been the chance to pay back all your
macros you have written for me (a.ak.a the others)
but unfortunatley, I don't have the full US Keyboard
version (means all Keys including shift and option
and option shift) The german Nisus Writer handbook
gives prints of the arabic, french, russian, spanish and
german keyboard. But no complete US.

But: above each printed key there is the apropriate US
keys (only UPPERCASE though). The single quote is
printed as well! According to the manual seems to be
the most right one of the middle letter row (the below
one of the two keys which are besides the return key)

Just an idea. Shouldn't the US MAC OS have a
program (as the german OS has, called "Tastatur")
Keyboard?

Maybe one of the US folks here can mail you this?

Hope I could help you Matze

much longer trying to type <shift>7 for the single quote, never mind the
trouble I'm having finding the other keys.
