I don't know if there's another way to get to them, but all those accented letters and stuff are hiding in the number pad. The only one I use regularly is Alt+130 for é, but they're all there. Alt+135 is ç, 140 is ï, 155 is ¢, 156 is £, 164 is ñ, 168 is ¿, 175 and 176 are « and ». If you go to "Insert Symbol" in MS Word it will tell you the number.
Lines:
See it's all the multiple numbers I don't get. On a mac, to get a é, you push opt(alt)-e for the accent and then the e to put the e under the accent. For a ç, it's just opt(alt)-c. So do you hold down alt and then all three numbers at once or one at a time? I've never been able to get the other letters to pop up.

One at a time. I believe that certain word processing programs will let you use things like CTRL+SHIFT+MARK, letter.
For example CTRL+SHIFT+' , e

On the PC these vary according to the country of the keyboard. For instance, a UK keyboard will give acute accents on all five vowels if pressed with the AltGr key, but US keyboards don't do that. But no keyboard matches the ease with which Norsk Data's keyboards in the 1980s could type all European and Scandinavian accents :P
