Hello Wilfred,

On Friday April 19 2024 14:39, you wrote to me:

Really? Is it really unrealistic to expect that what works when entereing text
on the command line also works when entering text in a command line
application? That the expectation is not always fulfilled does not imply it is
unrealistic I'd say...

 WV> The golded windows keyboard code is pretty complex:

Hmmm...

I woulkd have expected the \os to take part of that so that a simple OS call
would do it.

But then Golded was originally written for DOS where one had to write all that
low level code. Plus that Windows internally uses unicode and the DOS code is
all written around the one byte one character coding...

So maybe "DOS think" is still in  the way....


Cheers, Michiel
