I don't completely remember which one is which, but it's option-something for the accent, then the letter which you want the accent over. So I'm just going to play for the rest of the comment and tell you how I got stuff :-)
é (that was option-e, then e) î (that was option-i, then i) ü (option-u, then u) ñ (option-n, then n) à (option-tilde, then a)
If you go to System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu, and then turn on the Keyboard Viewer, you'll get an icon in the menubar that looks like a flag...go to that menu, open Keyboard Viewer, and you can see what characters you'll get when you hit the modifier keys (option and shift mostly...the apple key doesn't do anything for keystrokes, just commands. I just realized that was an easy way to get some of the Greek letters I need for homework!
