- I have installed patch PHSS_1659 on an HP9000/400 (HP-UX 8.0) to be able
- to use the ISO8859-1 character set with the resource "HPterm*roman8" set
- to "False" and an appropriate ISO font.
-
- Everything works fine but... with an HP46021AF keyboard (French layout),
- the key sequence [Ext Char][`] does not generate the character '|' (decimal
- 124) but a character whose decimal value is 166. I am worried since this
- key sequence in the only way to introduce the '|' character (very useful on
- Unix :-) with a French keyboard.
-
- Have I missed something ?
