Dear All
This may be peanuts to most or all of you (and I was similarly well versed in this 10 years ago. But for the records here is my simple bat.file solution to the keyboard problem I had when starting SHELL or DP in WIN-XP Echo shell.bat : : c:\windows\system32\kb16 dk,865,c:\windows\system32\keyboard.sys : cd \ cd wpl Echo wpl is my folder for the office files including SHELL shell.exe exit I have just made a shortcut to this batfile and bingo (those with similar problems in other languages just have to modify they country identifier after "kb16" and the codepage they call (I presume) I am happy now (while still waiting for DP for WIN) Jens Jens T.

I probably could have solved it globally via the Control Panel, Keyboard etc. settings, but the mails just posted onto the list re similar problems with Belgian keyboards prompted me to try this (rather than fiddle with my XP settings): Go to Command line Go (cd command) to directory "systems32" (to avoid long path names when trying) type (type) KB16 dk, 865, KEYBOARD.SYS (enter) (865 I remembered was the codepage we normally used under Dos in denmark in those days) Now just shift to the DP or SHELL directory Start DP or SHELL from the command line And it worked! SHIFT F7 was no longer interpreted as a wrong command Now I can either modify my autoexec.nt, I presume OR: I can simply make a bat file with the above commands that start my SHELL or DP via a shortcut I think I am saved Thanks ALL ( I have two other little bugs with DP/SHELL, but they must wait :-) A happy Jens Hoeg lists.dataperfect.nl/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
