I have been using Hypercard for some time now
to create exercises in French, but I have a lingering
problem. Making accents is very impractical, especially
on the Mac Se models, in which to make an "accent grave"
one must use the tilda key in combination with the option
key, which if combined inadvertantly can send one backwards
one card (as a speed key which is great for the programming
but terrible for beginning students who are not familiar
with Hypercard.
Is there some way to modify the keyboard to eliminate these
power (speed) keys so that they don't seend students back
one card (or worse) when they are struggling to remember
which accent to make????
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I would appreciate any help
Thank-you in advance.
