This

word

processor's

multilingual

keyboard

supports

the

accented

vowels

of

such

languages

as

French,

German,

and

Spanish.

1.

When

typing,

you

must

press

+

ff

§

(

)

to

switch

the

KB

indicator

on

the

status

line

to

II

(international)

or

III

(symbol).

(See

"Character

Set"

on

page

60.)

2.

When

printing,

you

must

have

the

appropriate

daisy

wheel.

(See

"Changing

Daisy

Wheel

Cassette"

on

page

280.)

Remember

that

the

accented

charac-

ters

and

other

special

characters

on

the

international

or

symbol

keyboards

can

be

printed

only

if

you

install

the

appropriate

daisy

wheel.

3.

Only

the

base

character

is

entered

in

the

text

area.

The

accent

is

entered

next

to

the

indicator

DEAD

on

the

status

line.

If

you

have

ever

used

a

typewriter,

you

already

know

the

basic

procedure:

Type

the

accent

and

then

the

base

character.

Unlike

regular

keys,

the

accent

keys

are

"dead"

—

that

is,

the

cursor

does

not

move

afterward

so

the

base

character

appears

under

the

accent.

Make

sure

that

the

keyboard

is

set

to

KB

:II

(interna-

tional),

and

try

the

following

example.

1.

Type

the

accent

"^".

The

accent

appears

next

to

the

indicator

DEAD.

The

cur-

sor

is

reversed

and

waits

for

a

base

character

to

be

input.

You

are

allowed

to

input

a

maximum

of

two

dead

characters.

If

you

make

a

mistake,

press

f

l

or

;I

to

delete

the

dead

character(s)

and

retype.

2.

Type

the

letter

"0".

The

letter

with

its

accent

"6"

now

appears

in

the

text

area.

NOTES:

•

With

some

combinations

of

accents

and

base

characters

(such

as

Y

and

A),

the

base

character

appears

alone

and

in

reverse

color

in

the

text

area.

When

you

subsequently

move

the

cursor

to

the

base

character

(press

at

this

point,

for

example),

the

accent

re

-appears

next

to

the

DEAD

indicator.

•

To

delete

an

accented

character,

proceed

as

you

would

for

a

normal

charac-

ter

(use
