But typing ALT-"0"248 does generate the correct character when I try it. ALT-248 without the 0 would generate the MS-DOS character. I've tried it on NT4 and could not reproduce the problem (*unless* it's not in the command prompt itself, but in another *application* that's run under the command prompt, and then who knows what they do to the character.)
