According to the information I have, it is only on american, italian, icelandic, hebrew and portuguece (spelling?) keyboards that \ is available as a single keystroke. All other 33 keyboard layouts, which I have in my booklet from IBM, requires some modifier (usually Alt Gr). You usually need both hands to hit the combination. I fully agree with François Pinard. -- ( www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4jonas/ ! Wei Wu Wei ) ( Meaning of U2 Lyrics, Roleplaying ! To Do Without Do )
