Martin, Yes, You can turn the keyboard into a QWERTY under software control, but be aware of two drawbacks: 1. If you change the keycaps A for Q, Z for W and M for ; you will notice that each row of keys is sculpted at a slightly different angle, so it will be obvious that they have been changed; 2. Even if you can live with 1. the top row of keys presents a problem, since the punctuation marks are different and/or on different keys (the 2 key has the acute-accented e, for instance, instead of the @ character. The numbers are also shown as needing the shift key (i.e. on the top half of the key). You should be able to buy English manuals from Commodore, although they might take a dim view of what, to them, is a 'grey' import. cheers, Pete Jones, Brussels, Belgium Flying with AutoPilot
