Hmmm, so do we think the problem is Mac OS X prior to 10.3.2, or is it 
related to Java and what version that is, or a british keyboard? John, 
I'm assuming you get the accented character by first hitting a modifier 
key like option, then the letter e, then the letter e again to get é - 
is that correct?
