Malcolm <malcolm(a)malcolm-agnew.de&gt; is using a German keyboard. He reported on xemacs-news: MA> I have a strange problem with Windows XP Professional using MA> any version of xemacs (i.e. native or cygwin port). MA> Any combination of AltGr to obtain "{", "}", etc. fails. But MA> in a cygwin bash shell or an xterm the combination works. MA> I do not have the same problem with Windows 2000, or Windows MA> NT. As far as I can see relevent registry values are MA> equivalent. He later followed up with: MA> After sooo long I found out what my problem is, although I MA> don't have a fix yet. I had ALWAYS run windows xemacs under MA> VNC. Running directly is no problem.
