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.
