Also, I work part of the time with Nettamer and part of the time with Commo, as I have both a shell and a PPP account. I am working under DOS with Jaws for DOS, so you will know from where my comments come. I know that in the DOS editor you can use alt-shift and type the Ascii character, but you have mentioned that that is a hassle with your screen reader; it may be with mine also as I haven't tried it yet. Would my DOS manual (I have it on e-disk) give me a list of the extended Ascii characters? The other possibility that I am exploring is using the DOS international commands, which you can find in your DOS help files. Again, I haven't tried this, but I understand from my reading that there are tables at the end of the "keyb" command help file for both keyboard reformatting and character set change. I have no idea what our screen readers will do with ththese. There are other international commands listed in the DOS help files. I do now know that "country" is actually used to enable one to read files that are written in a foreign language character set, rather than having to do with writing. I am sending this message also to the DOS-discuss group, in hope of getting more feedback. If any one out there has used the "keyb" "country" or other international commands, or if anybody has used the extended Ascii characters to enter foreign language accented characters, please respond so we can learn from your expertise.
