One of the things I've been awaiting (but not anxiously) in
2.0 is the ability to put diacritical (accent) marks on
characters using WriteNow.  So, now being 2.00, I have RightNow
just checked.  Indeed, they are mostly there, especially the
ones I need.

HOWEVER, the overbar (which is <alt-shift-E> according to
Appendix E of the User's Reference) doesn't work for me.
(This is an old cube, upgraded to '040.)  For you?  Also, the
Appendix says "the = and / keys on the keypad do not have
shift options", but it appears that they do: | and \, respectively,
as one might expect.
