Someone should put pressure upon whomever to get accents included -- I have no idea how one should go about this! And While we are at it, why not revise the ASCII system to include a hacek, that is the little inverted carat that goes above certain letters in Slavic (and other) languages. I am sure, more people speak Slavic languages than, say, Norwegian or Danish, yet we have the a with a little "o" above it for Swedish (as my old Swedish teacher used to call it: "o-gismo"), and an "o" with a slash through it, yet I can't even write Antonin Dvorak (the 'r' should have the little sign above it). Good luck with your Welsh learning. Blake Lee Spahr
