Hello,

I use a french keyboard and I can't use the ':' key, when I hit it
that's do nothing (not easy to change the drive letter) but that work if I
use the ascii code [alt] [076]. also no special caracters works, like "ù*$^!:;,?./§%µ¨£".
what can I do ?

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you anderstand,
thank
Mdos

Hit Ctrl+F1 to use keyboard mapper, then you can define some keys for your keyboard layout.

Or there is an experimental patch "Support for '<>|' key (certain european keyboards)"

Or look somewhere how the generic US keyboard is layout to find what key on your keyboard is the right english one. ":" for example should be the key to the right of "L"

Try downloading KEYB from FreeDOS. Maybe a Keyb XX will get rid of your problems.
