Most European languages need at least two more letters (statistics, anyone?). Finnish needs two, Swedish and German three, Danish and Norwegian (I think) also three, French could probably do with the accents in separate keys (three?), ditto spanish (two?), &c. >2) where are you going to put them? The first thing I'd do is moving >FILER COMM APPT PHONE MEMO 123 CALC to CHAR-something (function keys perhaps). They aren't often needed in a rapid sequence, I think, and most languages (the ones I need, anyway :-) could be satisfied with seven extra keys. -- Tapani Tarvainen (tarvaine@jyu.fi, tarvainen@finjyu.bitnet)
