  It's called Character Map, though this is a Windows thing. Not sure how
the Mac-users do it.

  I specifically didn't write ä because I didn't feel like it. For me,
it's a simple matter of four keystrokes, alt + 1 3 2, in sequence, while
continuing to depress alt.

  moving from alt + 129, which is "ü", characters go to 165, "Ñ," where
"ñ" is 164. Some foreign currency symbols are in there too, 155-160.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
