I noticed on some MacBook Pros that they have their country flag in the top right of the screen by the battery status icon. What does this do when you click on it? I have a Blackbook and I dont have a flag....is there anyway I can get one?

I believe it just shows that keyboard layout your using. Not sure how to get it though.

System Preferences > International > Input Menu > Show input menu in menu bar

Very nice, thanks.

I find that flag neat for some reason. Brings some much needed colour to the bar at the top.

I get a character palette from the drop down menu from that flag too - but can't remember if I had to set that up separately in the preferences... sorry, not much help is it

Its very useful if you are bilingual
you can also use it to activate the Character palette and keyboard viewer
