I have installed both keyboard maps (US English, which I use most of the time, and "latin american", which I use when writing in Spanish). In Win95 you just press "ctrl+shift" to toggle between both keyboards, this allows you to use the most convenient for each task (of course, I use the english keyboard when working in bash). To rapidly check which keyboard you are using, look at the tray on the taskbar: You will see "En" when using the english keyboard and "Es" when using a spanish one. Another neat Win95 feature: the keyboard mapping is program-dependent, so, you can have, say, both Word and Corel Draw open at the same time and set the spanish keyboard for Word and the english one for Corel Draw (or your bash console, for that matter). I hope this helps you. Saludos ********************************************* Pedro R.
