I must admit that changing codepage is a problem with W98SE. I do some
trials to get it work with two prepare-lines (437/850), but windows seems
to prefer 850. Cause i have no need for codepage 850 i give up after a
handful trials.

If i prepare only codepage 437 and select this in autoexec.bat i have
codepage 437 everywhere. And as i write, i have no disadvantage by using
437.

Sorry to suggest some hope.
