   Hello Wilfred,   
      
   On Friday April 19 2024 14:39, you wrote to me:   
      
    MvdV>> My idea is that one can expect that what works on the command

    WV> Your expectations are wrong! ;-)   
      
   Really? Is it really unrealistic to expect that what works when entereing text   
   on the command line also works when entering text in a command line   
   application? That the expectation is not always fulfilled does not imply it is   
   unrealistic I'd say...

    WV> The gut of it is from line 1695 to 1845...   
      
   Hmmm...   
      
    WV> And there seems to be special code to handle the alt-numpad keys at   
    WV> line 1760 and further...   
      
   I woulkd have expected the \os to take part of that so that a simple OS call   
   would do it.   
      
   But then Golded was originally written for DOS where one had to write all that   
   low level code. Plus that Windows internally uses unicode and the DOS code is   
   all written around the one byte one character coding...   
      
   So maybe "DOS think" is still in  the way....   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
