I did that, and found the key-code for AltGr is 1036496. I am using Windows XP, and it is said somewhere that some control-codes are not recognized by ed.ex. But to write a program I need characters []{}\, essential to EUPHORIA programs, and also sometimes |@#~¬ all of them available in the keyboard only through the AltGr key. I can copy them from another place, but this is awkward. In addition, it will be troublesome to install Windows 7 or 8 in this machine; it is somewhat old, but it is my preferred one.
So, I am planning to switch to another editor, considering also that ed.ex is not very friendly. In your opinion, which is the best editor for EUPHORIA programs?
Previously, I was using old EUPHORIA 3.1 for some scripts, but I discovered that the walk_dir function had a bug, not actually itself, but related to machine_function it calls. So, I switched to Open Euphoria, and the present problem cropped up. Best regards.
