First, let me describe my system. I have a B2000 which I purchased in
Germany which has a German keyboard. I have an A2620 card w/4 Meg.
The problems I describe are the same under 1.3 and 2.0 (303.20) OS and
under 1.3 and 2.0 of ProPage and 2.0 of ProDraw.
I have modified the keymap using the keymapeditor so that the keyboard
responds like a us keyboard (although key legends are not correct) but
again if I use a stock keymap I have the same problem. The problem is
that the ALT-Key combinations indicated on the Pro<stuff> menus do not
operate. It appears that for some strange reason, the programs think
that a different key combination is entered. By testing, I have
figured out the following:
Alt-Key Entered Alt-Key program saw
x o
p d
e q
1 z
5 u
6 p
8 m
! i
# l
: b
f,g,h,k are interpreted correctly.
I thought the program was broken until I tried it on a 3000 where it
worked just fine. Any thought on this will be appreciated.
Thanks
