- One problem with many non-US keyboards is that the AltGr key is used when
- typing "rarely used" charactes. What's bothersome with this is that WPS
- interprets AltGr as the Alt key. If you're always typing things correct
- and never ever miss a key or change your mind, this doesn't mean anything,
- but if you, like me, do errors, you would probably find it annoying when
- the system menu drops down just because you changed your mind. Earlier
- I thought this problem was unavoidable, but after working some time with
- (hold your breath now!) Microsoft C/C++ 7, and the PWB, I noticed that
- there was a switch which enabled/disabled the AltGr key. Leaving it be
- AltGr only instead of interpreting it as the Alt key, made using it a LOT
- more pleasant. Couldn't such a switch be included in the WPS (or even as
- a line in config.sys)?
