Hi Eli,

e>How do you type Latin-1 characters?  Do you use the AltGr key, or
e>some other method?

I use a keyboard with a german layout. I just type the keys sz, ue="u,
oe="o, ae="a without any use of Alt, AltGr or Ctrl (which is called Str
here):

 ^    1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  0  sz  '  <BSPACE >
<TAB>  q  w  e  r  t  z  u  i  o  p  ue  +  <RETURN>
<CAPS> a  s  d  f  g  h  j  k  l  oe ae  #  <RETURN>
<SH>  < y  x  c  v  b  n  m  ,  .  -   <  SHIFT    >
<STRG>  <ALT> <    SPACE        > <ALTGR> <  STRG  >


To enable this I've (or win95-setup automatically) to put

 devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
 Country=049,437,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

in my config.sys and

 mode con codepage prepare=((437) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
 mode con codepage select=437
 c:\windows\command\keyb.com gr,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

in my autoexec.bat.

It also works with codepage 850, which is the win95-setup default.
It's similar in Caldera OpenDos.


e>When you type those characters, do you hear a beep (or see a flash of
e>screen colors, if your Bash is set up to use the visible-bell
e>feature)?

There is absolute no reaction. I tried both 'set bell-style audible' /
'set bell-style visible' in my ~/.inputrc .
