From: Amarios on
Hello George,

sorry for late reply. I was out.

I found the solution through Internet surf. There is an API
(LoadKeyboardLayout) It works well with XP. It installs the keyboard on
demannd and it very easy to implement.

I have two pc's. One uses W98 and the other XP. On W98 i could not implement
Alt+Shift. So i searched and found the API. I do not know if i can use
SendKeys with XP (did not try it)

For your info, "George" is also George in the Greek language. It has no
special meaning. It derives from Saint George of the Christian religion.
Maybe the dictionary refered to a specific George that did soemthing and
happened to be also a farmer ? Earlier years Greece was mainly a farm
oriented economy.
Otherwise, if the word is spelled like i see it, it does not exist ! It
could be a type of "Hey farmer Jim ! Where are you going ?" Where the
"??????" is the equivalent of "farmer" in the sentence... (if spelled
correctly --> "??????").

Best regards
Marios
