Hi,

	On the subject of K/B handlers, and perhaps this is a keystroke
mapping problem but I notice that in several K/B scan code -> ascii maps I
have seen the humble backslash is missing.

	On attempting to install Command & conquer, and having been
subjected to some appalling pseudo intelligent setup program as a last step
I was given the option of changing the install path. Imagine my surprise
then when no keystroke would produce the backslash symbol, excellent hey ?

	Shocked I looked at my table and fixed the same problem ... who
made the first lookup table ? ...

	Just a thought...

		Michael Meeks.
