   One possbile solution is to use the Keyboard App and redefine another key
   to produce the (\). My wife found the assignment of (\) to control-/ to 
   be acceptable for LaTeX work.  The Keyboard App is in the /NextDeveloper/Demos
   directory.

Another possible solution is to use the British keyboard found in
Preferences.  There the backslash is Alternate-/.
