Anyone know how I can make MT display Alt + [keystrokes] coded characters (e.g., accents, em dashes)? MT 3.2 seems to <3 the &whatever; command characters, but I'm used to doing it the other way and don't want to learn a new trick. Where I usually find an em dash by typing Alt + 0151, now I get —. It just won't do.

Em-dash? — —
En-dash? – –
Ampersand? & &
Greater than? > >
Less than? < <
"O" with an umlaut? Ö Ö
"e" with an acute accent? é é
"Em-dash → mdash" strikes me as easier to remember than "Em-dash → Alt + 0151".
