I've added the Portuguese language to my desktop (via Regional and Language
Options) but don't know how to find out which keys are which on the keyboard.
Is there a way to get a keyboard map for the new language?

Switch the computer to Portuguese and then try Control Panel>All
Programs>Accessories>Accessibilty>On-Screen Keyboard.

Thanks Paul.
I switched to Portuguese and as soon as I clicked on "Start" it changed back
to English. I then tried the instructions, while in English, till I got to
the keyboard and then switch to Portuguese and it wouldn't let me.

I must be doing something wrong still.

Actually, I have found similar problems to yours in switching
languages. I use Alt-Left Shift to switch between English and
Portuguese and find that this command is somewhat temperamental.
Sometimes it works immediately and sometimes not. Perhaps, the user
just needs to be patient.
Additionally, when I have the language set to Portuguese and launch the
on-screen keyboard, it does indeed sometimes come up as the "English"
keyboard. However, in general, it changes to the Portuguese format
after about 10 seconds.
I have checked this out on our two computers here and find the same
annoyances on both even though one computer is less than 3 weeks old.
Nevertheless, I have never found that I could not achieve what I have
recommended to you although it doesn't do to be in too much of a rush.

Boa sorte
