Hello Michael,

On Monday February 18 2008 20:22, you wrote to me:

 MK>   mode con codepage prepare=((437) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
 MK>   mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)

Etc, etc...

I tried that of course. Years ago. And again just now.

It does not work. It /reports/ codepage 437 and displays it in full screen
mode. In Windows mode it displays CP 850, no matter what.

Cheers, Michiel
