Dennis - I have tried that - still the same problem. I recall this first happening way back in the days of version 6 or so of the DOS version of RBase. Then it 'disappeared', and I noticed the problem again with a release last year. I am still using the same keymaps (more or less) so nothing much has changed there, just the way that the combination of R:Base and the OS happens to deal with this. Not sure why though as I am running the same application on two machines now, one XP and one Win 7 and only one has the problem. (Although my memory is a bit vague I think in the early days it only happened on some machines - they would have been all running XP then.)

The problem seems to come and go but it is certainly there now on my Windows 7 Pro (32) machine but not on my XP one. "A number of years ago I had a problem with keymaps where some characters were not displayed when I used a keymap. At the time no one else seemed to have had a similar issue. However this problem has now reappeared. While show keymap shows the correct characters, when I invoke the keymap the U's are missing. R>show keymap [Alt][F8] = EDI USI SCPv ORDER BY ITEMNO SUBITEM where secno < 61 But when I use the keymap I get R>EDI SI SCPv ORDER BY ITEMNO SBITEM where secno < 61 (i.e. no Us) This is on a Windows 7 box, with 9_32 (latest update) - only the user and the code that set the keymap remains the same (more or less). I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this sort of issue and if anyone has any ideas as to what may cause this. (No problems on my XP machine.)"
