AlphaSmart 3000 77
The following tables show the international and special characters supported by
the AlphaSmart 3000, and the keystroke sequence required to generate each
character. Key combinations separated by hyphens (ctrl-option-2) should be
pressed in the sequence given and held down until the last key is pressed. Key
combinations separated by a comma (option-E, A) should be pressed sequen-
tially; in this example, press and hold the option key while pressing E, then
release them both before pressing A. You will not see a character displayed after
pressing the E, but the character that appears after pressing the A will be an
accented lowercase A. (These key sequences that do not produce visible results
themselves, but modify subsequent characters, are called dead-key sequences.)
