I think what you need is a package called "PT-KEYB Brazilian", by
Travel Concept Solutions. They have several freeware keyboards (the one
that you tap on the little keyboard icon) for various languages,
including Brazilian Portuguese. Their web site used to be at
www.travel-cs.com, but it's not working right now :(
Where are you located? If near Brazilia we could arrange a meeting so
that I can beam the package to you. I have no idea if I still have it
on my computer, but it's in my Newton for sure.
How can I upload a package from the Newton to the computer, BTW?
Cheers,
Helvecio
