Hello,
why doesn't gets(0) allow typing national characters ?
( in my case "=EC=B9=E8=F8=BE=FD=E1=ED=E9=F9=FA" )
I've seen non-Euphoria programs that allows this.

I know this is really unfair in a way, but can Martin or Igor or someone else
write a bit
of Eu code to do this? That way, the programmer could run the program, specify
the
language needed, and the computer will be all set up for displaying and
inputting the
native charset in dos, windows, and linux. I know you can't wait on Micro$oft to
do it,
and they'd get it wrong anyhow. If possible, if you do this, could you make it
able to
set up *any* language for which there is a codepage? Then you'll be writing a
preprocessor to convert all the Eu words like "FOR" to "ÈÁÎ" and "KVULI".

Yes, it seems, this is Windows's plus exw.exe feature,
when you use *console window*, you can not switch
keyboard's layout to national one.
So, it seems, you must restart Windows in pure MS DOS
text mode, or run *non-console* pure Win application,
if you want national chars with Eu.
When *other text mode* Win program run (FAR for example),
it is possible to switch code page and keyboard layout,
if window is on *full screen* or if window is normal
(big). Then national code page and keyboard's layout
are correct. But if window is minimal, code page is
*incorrect*, not national, but keyboard's layout is
switchable onto 128..255 chars.
You can see the very strange things via Windows. )-:
There is no more detailed info about this question
in my books, sorry.

The DOS commands mode and keyb are usually included in your autoexec.bat,
but they can also run from the command line any time you like. You might put
them in a something.bat you'd run every time you open a console.

Well, to be fair, HAL got it worse still.
