In the keyboard control panel, define both the US English _and_ UK English keyboard layouts, and make the US English layout the default layout. When your friend wishes to get the special UK specific key mappings, use Alt-Left Shift key sequence to remap the keyboard (or select it from the Taskbar). Then hitting Shift-3 will produce the UK pound symbol instead of the US octothorp. Hitting Alt-Shift again will revert the keyboard mapping back again. New application instances will always open with the default key layout, in this case US English. I have a 760CD with a US English layout yet using this keyboard remapping method, I can get the Norwegian characters in any application (and, yet, retain my sanity when using telnet to a UNIX system).
