How do you get a control in a dialog to accept these overstrike characters?
~ over the n of manana
I don't think it's so much a function of the dialog as the operating system.
Assuming it will accept the character, and there is a glyph for it, there shouldn't be a problem.
Try holding down ALT (left; not AltGr) and type the character code on the numberpad (the separate one, not the digits above the letters) and then release alt.
The code for ñ is 164
Than you Tedd. That works. Where can I find a list of those codes?
You can either try searching for an ascii code map, except that those characters are 'extended' and so depend on the code-page selected.
The charactermap application (one of the windows tools) will show you, but the codes are in hex so you'd need to convert them. Plus it depends on the font!
Or, here's a little application I made earlier :green (Though I haven't got around to finishing it ::))

Cool little program! Thanks Tedd, I like that chart, just what I needed.

Thanks TC. My old ASCII table didn't have the Extended Codes.
