Jerome, this is not an installer issue, it occurs following an otherwise successful install and reboot. I think it is a DOSLFN/Memory Management/SHELL issue. It's a bug that has been around for a long time and the only way I have gotten rid of it is to forgo DOSLFN. On another note, I am in need

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

The default FreeDOS 1.1 installation does not load KEYB for a US keyboard (nor do I have it loaded). CHCP reports Code Page 858, as expected. And as I reported in my original post on this topic: - Even in Edit, R-Alt acts like L-Alt with no document open. - In SetEdit, R-Alt acts like L-Alt. -

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

It is known that the R-Alt (AltGr) works differently than L-Alt with some keyboard layouts, but when it is a US keyboard layout (and some other layouts as well) that is not the case. This is a bug and it should be fixed. There are DOS functions that EDIT can call to tell what kind of keyboard

Just did an install on my multiple Hard drive/multiple DOS/FreeDOS DC5700. I used the advanced option and have nothing bad to report (except that *#$% "Error reading from drive A: DOS area drive not ready Abort Ignore Retry Fail?" on mulitple file copy. Tried adding \ to destination directory to

I use setedit almost exclusively and R-Alt is working correctly with an open file. On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 11:48 AM, John Hupp wrote: > I have argued much the same, but I have a recollection that the EDIT > behavior is by design, with R-Alt (aka AltGr) functioning as a

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

I have argued much the same, but I have a recollection that the EDIT behavior is by design, with R-Alt (aka AltGr) functioning as a dead key to provide support for the Euro character, etc. There is an old, unattended bug report on the issue, though it may need rounding out, and in any case

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

With a US keyboard layout, R-Alt and L-Alt are supposed to work exactly the same way in the vast majority of programs, including EDIT. I did a couple of experiments, and in FD-EDIT it doesn't work that way. It's a bug in the way the program is written. MS-EDIT works just fine. I haven't
