BCharacter Sets
The TravelMate 3000 WinSX Notebook Computer character sets are identical to the
IBM Code Pages for DOS version 5.00. This appendix shows the character sets for Code
Page 437 (United States), 850 (Multilingual), 863 (Canadian-French), and 865 (Nordic),
with the decimal and hexadecimal codes for each character.
The four character sets contain differences in the international, symbol, and graphics
characters above decimal code 128 (extended ASCII characters).
Note: The extended ASCII characters that are not on the keyboard (128 to 255
decimal) can be displayed at the MS-DOS prompt and in many application programs as
follows. Hold down the Alt key, type the ASCII decimal code for the character using
the keys with numbers on their front face with the Fn key also held down or with the
Num Lk key on. Release the Alt key and the character is displayed on the screen.
Your printer may or may not print the extended characters. Refer to the character code
tables in your printer documentation.
