Re: [h-e-w] Win 2000 + "Spanish" keyboards

[andrew cooke]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Are you using Win 2000?  What Mule settings?  Anything special in .emacs?

I am at home at the moment, so can't give a detailed reply (hopefully I will 
get email access at work today), but basically only the alphanumeric keys 
work OK.  I don't know the specifics of the keyboard but ñ is to the right on 
a key of its own, < and > are to the bottom left, : and ; are on separate 
keys to the bottom right (shifted above . and ,).  All that is different to a 
"normal" keyboard I would use for a british/american computer.

When I type any of the non-alphanumeric keys, I get different letters 
displayed in emacs.  When I try to type "*" (second row right, iirc), I see 
"P", for example.  Another example: to get "(" or ")" I need to shift 4 and 
5, although the keyboard has them on 8 and 9 (or 9 and 0, I can't remember 
exactly).

All those details are from memory, but that's the general idea.  I can be 
more exact once I am at work if it is important, but the problem is very 
clear and obvious - I don't know why you don't have problems if I do!

Thanks,
Andrew
