I'm trying to remap some of the RT's extended character set in order to develop a non-english version of a program. In order to do this, I would like to map characters from code pages 1 and 2 into code page 0. I think I can do this using the Unique character set definitions but I'm running into real difficulties. As an example, I would like to map the character at code page 1 code point 136 (Z overdot) to display whenever my program outputs the value \0335. This will correspond to an X/OPEN character set mapping. I'm using an 6155 display and adapter and if I use the SS1 and SS2 characters it works fine. But I really want to use single 8-bit characters for my output so that I can match X/OPEN. I have managed to map my keyboard input. I'm slowly making my way through the tech manuals (OS and VRM) but I keep getting confused. Charlie Pilzer clp@beartrk.beartrack.com
