Hello Dean,

If CCSID 37 can handle accented characters, do you know how to change an application to allow them to be entered? I’m talking about a 5250 application. Is it a different key sequence than what you use for Windows? I tried Ctrl + ` and then type the letter. I just get the letter on my 5250 screen.
This is completely a client-side thing and dependent on how the OS requires you to use key sequences to enter those. On US keyboards and Windows, this is the harder part, compared to the database or even 5250 screens. Due to accented characters being unusual in the US, computers were for a long time unable to deal with them. Today, it's a mere thing of people don't knowing how to balance all that funny interpunction on the characters. It's all about the correct magic keystrokes.

Because Ctrl-` is for sure the wrong key combination.
:wq! PoC
