Do you have that confidence? I wouldn't expect the division sign to be on keyboards. On the other hand, I would expect that having to type a two-stroke sequence every once in a while would help native English speakers appreciate what people in other countries sometimes have to go through in order to spell their names correctly... :-) Greg
