Re: Keyboard Mapping

Alt-0162 for ¢. The status line at the bottom of Character Map shows the
key sequence.

If you have a Microsoft keyboard,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179has details on software to
install. It looks like it enables macro
capability (the default Keyboard settings panel on my Win7 work laptop
doesn't have the tab mentioned in the article). Logitech probably has an
equivalent. I've no idea if you can install the IntelliType app without an
MS keyboard but you could try that as well.

Otherwise, look for macro software in general.

Is this for general use in Windows? Or is it for use in Access terminal
emulation only?

There are some things you can do - like choose an international
keyboard, where you get things like Ctrl-colon to get an umlaut (I think).

Also, if you know the ASCII number for a symbol, you can use Alt-0nnn

Initially, I want to add the cent sign to a keystroke (though I might

think

of others later), even if I have to use a standard character key in
combination with either the Ctrl or Alt key, rather than using Character
Map.



In the same vain, is there a proper sequence for typing a character with

an

accent or nya (` or ~ such as áñ)?

I have this vague recollection that on some of the old 5250 dumb

terminals I

could hold down the Alt key, press the accent or nya and then the letter

to

get the special character.



I didn't see anything in the Control Panel: Keyboard function.



Thanks.
