Hi Danyelle,

Thank you so much for passing along that info to those of us who 
occasionally need to type in Spanish. In the last year or so I've been 
corresponding with a few individuals who speak Spanish and, until I read 
your message,  I had no clue how to type the ñ sign (I'm showing off now, 
see?). For some time now, I've just been typing the letter "n" whenever I 
meant "ñ", which, interestingly, is also what those who were corresponding 
with me in Spanish were doing. The other good thing that came from your 
message is that I know now how to do an inverted exclamation mark as well as 
an inverted question mark, which are both used in written Spanish as well. 
Thank you very much for that tip.

Miguel
