Prefix	Accent Type	Characters
Alt+a	dieresis	   
Alt+e	eg...		                       
Alt+i	grave		                   
Alt+n	circumflex?	           
Alt+u	umlaut		                     
Alt+,	cedilla		   
Alt+^	circumflex	                   

Just in case you can't read the special characters after they've traversed the  
Internet, valid characters which can be prefixed are a,c,e,i,n,o,u,& y

So, counting the capitol and lower case characters as unique (they do have  
separate font entries) there are 53 international characters above which can be  
typed from the NeXT keyboard using the 7 prefixes.

I think that some applications do not accept these prefixes.  Could be due to  
things like e-macs bindings getting in the way, but I'm not sure.
