Hi Eli,

d>different?

Again absolutely nothing happens. The same effect. I've tried

Alt-129 = ü ue "u
Alt-132 = ä ae "a
Alt-142 = Ä Ae "A
Alt-148 = ö oe "o
Alt-153 = Ö Oe "O
Alt-154 = Ü Ue "U
Alt-225 = ß sz "s

It works at the dos-prompt...

BTW: I've gotten the Alt-nn values by the very simple program

main(){
  int c;
  for(c=0;c<=255;c++){
    printf("%3d: %c\n", c, (char)c);
  }
}

'less'ing the output.
