Hello Wilfred,

Really? Is it really unrealistic to expect that what works when entereing text on the command line also works when entering text in a command line application? That the expectation is not always fulfilled does not imply it is unrealistic I'd say...

WV> The golded windows keyboard code is pretty complex:

Hmmm...

I woulkd have expected the \os to take part of that so that a simple OS call would do it.

But then Golded was originally written for DOS where one had to write all that low level code. Plus that Windows internally uses unicode and the DOS code is all written around the one byte one character coding...

So maybe "DOS think" is still in  the way....


Cheers, Michiel
