Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you. Deadkeys are broken on W95 with german keyboard. This is documented by Microsoft in their knowledge base, case Q140456: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q140/4/56.asp They don't have a solution for that problem either, except for noting: "This problem was corrected in Windows 2000." The problem is that when reading the keyboard, every other Windows reports the correct backtick ASCII character when pressing the space key. In W95 with german keyboard, it returns _always_ ASCII code 0x00 when pressing backtick as well as the following space, unfortunately. However, as a workaround you might think of installing inetd so that telnetd works on your machine. Then you will be able to use a good telnet client (I have very good experiences with TeraTerm: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html) to login to localhost. In that terminal sessions you will be able to press the backtick as well since the Windows console code isn't used then.
