A question for the net:
Regarding the Keyboards on the Macs and Mac+'s ---
One of our professors here attempted to transport a MacWrite file
to a colleage in Britain. When the person in Britain attempted to make
additions to the MacWrite document, the characters that appeared on the
screen were not what he typed. The answer seems to be that while the
professor here in the states was using a US keyboard, the fellow in
Britain was using a British keyboard.
Question: are the keyboard mappings different between the US and British
keyboards? How can the problem be solved? Is there a "conversion program"
that will change the mappings, or can the problem be solved only by
bringing a US keyboard to Britain?
Please respond via e-mail. Thanks ---
