I don't think that was the case here (during FC-5 installation). No other versions of English, such as US-English, were offered; British was the only English-like language on offer. Incidentally, the whole language-keyboard setting seemed very confusing. I wanted to choose a UK keyboard (as opposed to US) but with the euro in place of the pound. When I chose "Irish" keyboard it assumed I wanted to write in Gaelic. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
