RE: console app on German Win9* - '^' character, etc

[Heribert Dahms <heribert_dahms at icon-gmbh dot de>]

Hi Dmitrii,

you know that, on a german keyboard, you need
to type a space after a deadkey like ^ or ~ or ` ?
However I can only speak for NT,
I could avoid W9x/W2k so far...

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)
