In transcribing German to systems without an umlaut, it is acceptable and
used to be customary to write the character with an e following it. For
example, "Häschengeliebter" would be printed as "Haeschengeliebter"

I knew about the Alt-numbers to get umlauts...but AOL my server would not
accept it when I typed it in for the E-mail address and when I used rabbit
instead of bunny it was too long for AOL...oh well...thank you for the site
to
remind me what the codes are though :)

Krista, I know it's OT, but try entering extended ASCII using Num-Lock and
the numeric keypad. See http://www.asciitable.com for the values. You press
the
Alt key while entering the code, e.g. a-umlaut is Alt-132, so you get
"Häschengeliebter".
