Devin, I tested on Win 10 pro VM and fired up the ol' XP. Results were the same.
Works in 6.7.6 and 6.7.11 Does not work in 7.1.4, 8.1.1 and 9.0 dp1 This affect LC fields, Message box and Inspector. I was testing with 0200(È). If you test in the message box you will see the 2 key does a down arrow. The alt key is doing nothing. It's a bug.

This doesn’t work for me in 8.1.0, however (the only version I have available to me on Windows at the moment.) Is this a bug? Does it work in earlier versions? Thanks for any help.
