Try doing a Google search with "Bombe", the proper spelling.

Jerry asks:

Check out Bombe Chest on google.

Should be an accent on Bombe's "e", but not possible with this set-up.

Will give you some pictures anyway. Got 206 hits from "Bombay Chests", and 5020 hits from "Bombe Chests". Judging from the vew I looked at, they come in a variety. Just make a chest and call it a Bombay or Bombe, probably nobody will know the difference.

Charlie and all,

(hold down the ALT key and type 0233 from the number pad for the é character)

I can't remember them either ... so I use the chararacter map to quickly identify the code I need. Of course you can always insert the character directly, but if I'm going to use it more than once, I select the character and note the ALT+ code in the lower right corner of the window.

Thought I'd share a hint with you ... in return for all you've shared with the net. Thanks.

Regards,

Rick

It only works if you happen to be running Windows anyway.

The quickest way to produce such characters is to use a different keyboard layout. KDE (one of the GUIs for Linux) makes this more obvious than Windows does, but I used to have Windows configured to allow me to switch among several layouts too.

Spanish gets you:

¡! ¿? á é í ó ú à è ì ò ù â ê î ô û ä ë ï ö ü ñ Ñ çÇ ºª ?

though it makes many of the punctuation characters hard to find, and it takes a bit of getting used to.

OK, OK, I'm a language dork. :)

Even worse, French.

bom=B7b=E9 =A0=A0 (=A0P=A0)=A0=A0Pronunciation Key=A0=A0(bmb, b=F4-) adj. Curving or bulging outward. Used of furniture. [French, from bombe, bomb. See bomb.]

Found this definitition too, so now need to figure out if the guy is wanting to make a chest, or dessert.

bombe =A0=A0 (=A0P=A0)=A0=A0Pronunciation Key=A0=A0(bm, b=F4b) n. A dessert consisting of two or more layers of variously flavored ice cream frozen in a round or melon-shaped mold. [French (from its shape). See bomb.]

But now, a lot of us can be much more sophisticated. Instead of saying we have a fat gut, we can just say we have a bombe shape.

Thank goodness the guy isn't in the Air Force, he would be making chests with huge doors on the bottom, [bomb bay !!!]
