You can generate all accented characters with the English set-up by using
CTRL/V<letter><accent> (or ^V<accent><letter>)

For example: e with accute accent would be "^Ve'"
	     c with a cedilla would be "^Vc,"
	     i with an umlaut would be "^Vi""

You have to make sure that your printer knows how to handle these characters.
Most printer files are fairly complete and should work out-of-the-box.
Use the PRT.EXE command to modify your .PRS file if the accented characters
aren't handled properly (you may have to map these characters to sequences
like: <letter><BACKSPACE><accent>.
