- SPANISH KEYBOARD
-
- This routine once invoked remains resident and occupies very little
- storage. It provides support for the spanish keyboard and allows the
- user to switch between the spanish and the standard keyboards, however,
- when invoked, it places the keyboard in spanish mode.
-
- The keyboard layout is in the attached sheet, you will notice that some
- keys have three characters, the thrid being the one on the bottom right
- of a key, to generate these characters, press Alt-Ctrl and the key.
- The twoe keys to the right of the "P" are "dead" keys and when pressed
- apparently do nothing, however, they work the same as in a typewriter;
- to place an accent on a vowel (lower case only), press the dead accent
- key followed by the desired vowel and violá. If you press anything
- other than a lower case vowel, you will get a BEEP and you will see the
- two characters, the last one being the character you last typed.
-
-
- To switch between keyboards:
-
- Alt-Ctrl-F1 : Swithces to the standard keyboard
-
- Alt-Ctrl-F2 : Swithces to the spanish keyboard
-
-
- The characters generated by the routine appear as such on the display
- but in order for them to be printed, the IBM graphics printer is
- required as this contains the new characters. The new EPSON FX80 can
- also be used generating the appropriate characters.
-
- If you are going to use these characters in graphics mode, you must
- first execute the GRAFTABL function provided with DOS 2.0, otherwise
- you will get garbage in your display.
