[DM-MUG] Word in Russian

[Chris R]

We get quite a few foreign language emails and the  
Babelfish.altavista.com cut and paste translator is very effective.  
You can also download the cyrillic keyboard layout for mac and it  
will type russian letters. You still have to be able to write in  
Russian though. Regards Chris
