[OS X TeX] Diacritic accents directly in source file

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Thanks for the very useful reply Bruno, the [applemac]{inputenc} 
option/package did the trick. It alone, without the need for the 
{isolatin1} package nor the [latin1] option, gives me properly accented 
letter cases in the output file when I type them "normally" in the 
source file. The only thing that concerns me about this solution is the 
eventual portability of such file to other platforms. I'm afraid that 
the file might choke when processed by LaTeX in, say, x86 Linux. I guess 
that to get everything straight, properly accented letter cases and 
portability, I'd have to play with the packages/option and the file 
encoding upon saving it, but the fast approaching deadline I have to 
deliver this document prohibits me from playing with this any further. 
But, pretty please, if any one has already figured this out then I do 
not mind in any way listening to the answer to my question!

	Thanks again for the reply Bruno, you just saved me quite some time 
(don't ask me to pay you because I'm quite broke for the time 
being :-) !!).

	My warm regards to all,...


		Juan.
