In SETUP select your keyboard as "US International"  --  this is the
normal US keyboard that is able to generate the accented characters with
pairs of keystrokes, the first being a dead key.  The five dead keys are 
" ' ~ ` ^.  If you press ~ then n, for example, you get the spanish n in
senora.  You press the dead key first, then the character that the dead
key is to apply to.  It's great fun!  To generate the actual dead keys
themselves, you have to press the dead key followed by space bar.  You
get a beep if the dead key-character combination is not allowed and does
not translate to any accented character.
