You have to do this. 1. System Prefs 2. Under "Personal" go to "Language and Text" 3. Hit "Input Sources" tab 4. Select "Greek Polytonic" in the Left hand List 5. Leave the selected "Use the same on in all documents" Under "Input Source Options" 6. Click "Keyboard Shortcuts (which is on the right side of "input sources") 7. Select (if they are NOT already selected) the LAST 2 Boxes (7a, 7b) 7a. "Select the previous input source" and 7b. "Select the next source in input menu" 8. It will show 2 yellow Flag markers. Don't worry, it's just telling you a major change to your keyboard has happened (when you want it to... I'll now explain how to control the switching between English and Greek) 9. Now you can exit the system prefs box. 10. using the commands "Option, Command, and TAP Space" will toggle (cycle thru) between US and GREEK. As you tap SPACE while holding down OPT and COMM, you will see in the upper right hand corner of your screen the US flag and GREECE'S flag will appear. 11. Holding down Command and tapping Space will do the same, but give you a little window to see the toggle.</p> <p>Yes, this was explained in a Barney style, but that's because I need things explained to me in this way.
