How to enter Surnames with differebt spellings?

I would like to know the proper way to enter surnames with multiple spellings. For example, take the name May which has two spellings. In the surname line of my genealogy program do I put May/Mey? Or do I put May(Mey)? Or do I only put May in the surname field and make a note that it is also spelled Mey in the note field?
Would appreciate any advise.
thanks,
Ed
