The identical bitmaps on my Mac screen for both DOS and Windows versions of
the "e-acute".
These accents (as well as the common vowel/accent combinations) are all
residents of the standard ASCII alphabet, and all in the higher character
set (ie. „128). "é" is ASCII(142).

><alt> 130
>In Windows Character map: <alt> 0233

ASCII(130) is the "Ç" and ASCII(233) is "È". Does  Bill Gates really make
you depress the <alt> and then ype three or four digits to access these
accented vowels?

Over here on the Mac, they are enabled for application in one key/pair, and
then applied immediately to a single vowel. For example, "alt-e" loads the
" ´ ", ready for you to follow on  with a  "a". "e", "i". or "o". The
operating system stands ready to switch among the
accent/punctuation/alphabet conventions of twelve Roman alphabet languagues
