 Subject: Spanish Input Methods


 I am in the process of porting a tool from OpenWindows to Motif; unfortunately,
 this means that I have to actually write input methods for Spanish accented
 characters. Fortunately, the tool isn't in use yet, so I can change it to use
 a different method -- I never liked OpenWindows three key compose sequence.

 My question is: what is the standard? How to native speakers type in Latin
 America and Spain? Do they tend to ignore the accents, or actually use something
 like OpenWindows' compose-character-accent sequence? Or something more
 reasonable like alt-a to get an accented character?

 Spanish speakers: Given the choice of everything, what would you use? What is
 the de facto standard?
