	Don't have to do all this.  Just run the KEYB.COM DOS program before 
running WP51 and you have a french keyboard.

	KEYB CF - Gives Canadien Francais.
	KEYB US - Gives US keyboard.

	I created a batch file called WORD.BAT that calls the CF keyboard 
before running WP.EXE and calls the US keyboard after exiting.
	But, I think the file WP{WP}CF.THS is the french thesaurus.  Je ne 
sais pas si j'ai ce fichier.  Je vais verifier ma version de WP et je 
reviens.  
	Ca fait tellement longtemps que je ne l'ai pas utilise que je ne 
sais plus si ma version est francaise ou non.  Je me sers toujours du WP For 
Windows de l'universite ici.
