I believe that depends on at least three different things: the keyboard layout, the used font, and the encoding. For example, the mentioned "Courier New" charset in "Windows/Western" encoding has the Euro symbol at offset 0x80 (hex). You can get the character by pressing (and holding) ALT, then typing (on the numeric pad, thats important) "0128". However, both the DOS/USA and DOS/Western encoding of the same charset don't have the Euro symbol at that offset. But - and I think thats one of the rare benefits of Windows :) you can still reach it with ALT+0128. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
