Now I use a Belgian azerty keyboard, Ray, so it has é, è, ç, à and ù as discrete characters, plus a few floating chaps that you can put over any vowel, so: á, ù, ï, ô and ñ are two keystrokes each. For some reason it also has µ. For currency there's $, £ and €. Then there's ² and ³ and all the usual stuff, three sorts of brackets: ( [ and { and section §. But I don't seem to have what I think looks like Greek beta but is probably double-s. Now they could have got that in, as there are still loads of keys with only two characters on them.

I seriously wonder why they put so little on the average qwerty keyboard.

Hey - maybe I can now! I mean I always could on this computer, but it never showed up in the forums. Do you see that last sentence in Greek, or just a gibberish sequence of odd characters? I mean it looks fine to me, but I have Greek language support installed...

That was supposed to be the Greek alphabet, and I shall be really disappointed if to you it looks like this:

Yaaay! Real Greek!

And the Greeks say "It's all Chinese to me."

I do sympathise over the z/y problem. The Greek keyboard was designed by a total idiot who took the qwerty keyboard and put some letters under English ones that sound the same, so Ρ is under R and Π is under P, but put others under letters that look the same, so Η is under H and Υ is under Y. And then some are just shoved in with no thought at all, so Ζ, which is Z in every way, is mysteriously under W, and Ξ, which sounds like X, is under J.

Drives me crackers!
