Hi Jane, if you do wish to type n with a tilde, type in 0241 on the numeric pad whilst holding down the alt key. Añañuca, :-) Regards Sheila ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane McGary" The common name for them was mentioned by one correspondent, but since it contains two n's with tildes on them ("A~na~nuca" is the closest I can come in my angloscript email) it might be even harder to type than "rhodophiala" for those who don't have an e-mail application with a Spanish option. I assume it comes from an indigenous name for these plants.
