I have a B2000 which I purchased in Germany which has a German keyboard. I have an A2620 card w/4 Meg. The problems I describe are the same under 1.3 and 2.0 (303.20) OS and under 1.3 and 2.0 of ProPage and 2.0 of ProDraw. I have modified the keymap using the keymapeditor so that the keyboard responds like a us keyboard (although key legends are not correct) but again if I use a stock keymap I have the same problem. The problem is that the ALT-Key combinations indicated on the Pro menus do not operate. It appears that for some strange reason, the programs think that a different key combination is entered. By testing, I have figured out the following: Alt-Key Entered Alt-Key program saw x o p d e q 1 z 5 u 6 p 8 m ! i # l : b f,g,h,k are interpreted correctly. I thought the program was broken until I tried it on a 3000 where it worked just fine. Any thought on this will be appreciated.
