I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough. I meant that the
a-with-circle-on-top is next to the P key, I think the US keyboard has a
left bracket, in case it shows up as something else on that key.

The way that key is mapped is with the keybsu or keyb commands
(depending on version of MS-DOS). These commands cause the key to
generate the character code for the a-w-a-c-o-t. There are versions of
this program for several countries.
