[comp.windows.ms] Keyboard mapping file information

legg@sirius.ucs.adelaide.edu.au (Christian Legg) (08/18/90)

  A Windows 3 user on campus would like to be able to enter French characters
from the keyboard of her PC. We have tried to use the French keyboard
setting in the control panel, but this remaps the keyboard completely to that
of a French keyboard. What we want to be able to do is to change a few keys
of the standard US keyboard definition file, so that '[' will produce an e
with a cravatte etc.

  So, does anyone either know the format of Windows 3 keyboard mapping
files or know where such information can be attained from. Local Microsoft
Tech support has been as useful as a wet paper bag over this question so
I now thorow it over to the net.

  Until Windows 3 this user had been using a keyboard modifying TSR. Windows
3 overrides this - maybe there is some setting in the WIN.INI file that
forces Windows to use the keyboard like any other DOS application?

  Any help, pointers or tips will be greatfully accepted.
