Dear All
Many thanks to all those who responded so quickly.
My original problem was that my 1200 had a default keyboard setting of
US-English with a pcxal keyboard. This meant that the pipe and back
slash symbol on by UK-English keyboard did not respond.
As many people explained, the solution is to set the language variable
at the chevrons prompt ie.
>>> set language 38
Then reboot.
This gives you English/Irish. To see the available options type:
>>> set language <any_old_rubbish>
Once you CDE has started, you can go to the cde toolbox, select
desktop-apps, select keycaps icon. This will bring up a screen
allowing you to select the correct language and keyboard type. Having
done this, add /usr/dt/bin/dxkeyboard -load to your .profile to
restore the chosen settings.
Many thanks to: Roger Picard, Will Flett, Richard Bembrose and Paul
Watson for such prompt replies.
