Yes, you do need a "wierd" add on. It's called "Multidesk" -- I've used it
for some time with no problems under Win32 systems. It really is quite
slick.

However, because it uses certain key combinations that overlap with moving
from English to other languages, it doesn't play well on systems that do
use multilanguage support (you can use it, just sometimes when you're
typing along normally suddenly it switches to another language on
you...?!?!)

Here is a page talking about just about everything but multidesk:

Here is a page with download links for multidesk in particular:

But as always, your best bet is to uninstall Win32 and install one of the
many fine Linux distros out there ;)
