    Hello

    I had a hard time with a Finnish keyboard and the Remote Desktop
    Connection. I need to press shift-option-7 to get a backslash on the
    Mac. This wouldn't work with RDC. The solution was to type ctrl-alt
    with the key where the backslash is on the _PC_ keyboard. The alt key
    depends on your RDC settings. With Finnish keyboards set up on the Mac
    and the PC my sequence is ctrl-alt-+

    Cheers
    Petri
