diacritical marks when you are entering

added automatically. However, if you
type a word which has two forms that
are accented differently, (for example,
pelo, pêlo) just highlight the form that
you want and press
ENTRAR

If you want to type an accent or diacritical
mark in a word, first type the desired
letter (for example,
e
) and then press
or until the correct mark appears.
