Is it really unrealistic to expect that what works when       entereing text        MvdV> on the command line also works when entering text in a command line        MvdV> application? That the expectation is not always fulfilled does not       imply it is        MvdV> unrealistic I'd say...              That's what I meant. ;)               WV>> And there seems to be special code to handle the alt-numpad keys at        WV>> line 1760 and further...               MvdV> I woulkd have expected the \os to take part of that so that a simple OS       call        MvdV> would do it.              Unfortunately not...               MvdV> But then Golded was originally written for DOS where one had to        MvdV> write all that low level code. Plus that Windows internally uses        MvdV> unicode and the DOS code is all written around the one byte one        MvdV> character coding...               MvdV> So maybe "DOS think" is still in the way....              This code is specific for Windows. The MSDOS code is from line 1563 to 1625,       and uses cpu.genint(0x16);                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.2-B20240419        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/220 225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 5020/400 5054/30       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
