Pardon my ignorance. I wasn't aware of that. Spanish and Spanish ISO 
keyboards have all the characters English use, as well as the numbers, 
in the same place that English keyboard. Only special characters (and, 
of course, Spanish characters) have different keys.

I too started with the Mac SE, with no hard drive --in one 720K floppy I 
had the System, in the other Quark and chapters of the book (and 
sometimes the whole book) I was working on.

And now here I am --more than 15 years latter--, In Search of Lost Time: 
trying to learn (La)TeX.

In Mr. Wierda's reply to your installation problems I post some news on 
defective installation CDs.
