Or Shift-6 to insert the accent circumflex. It's all quite handy when typing in French or Irish, which I do fairly regularly. But this is on a PC. I'm sure MAC has something similar.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydpe8cf829asignature"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div><font size="4">Dave <br></font></div><div><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"><br></span></div><br></div></div></div></div>
