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
