Jerry, sorry for the delay in response to your most welcome comments last Saturday.
I don't get a vertical line when entering,"\" ,nothing appears. I followed your
suggestion re. notepad and a walk through the keyboard. All is correct and functions
well. The problem seems to be a restriction only when in the DOS mode.
Strange eh. any further thoughts would be welcome.
Paul.
