It just produces a different character if I do. Traditionally at least, with a 0 it types a character from the ANSI set, and without a 0 it types a character from the OEM set. But as I test it (Win7), it depends on what font the command prompt is set to. ----- Lucida Console or Consolas ----- C:\Users\StewartGordon>chcp 850 Active code page: 850 C:\Users\StewartGordon>£úœ£ '£úœ£' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
