Can't type "@" and "\" in jed (jed.exe, Win XP Pro)

[Harri Tuominen <irrah@xxxxxx>]

Hello!

I haven't found a way to produce "\" and "@" in the Jed editor 0.99.16.
I must write these characters by first pressing ^p and then typing 092
or 064.

I use the console version of Jed under Windows XP Pro SP 2 FI. I
downloaded an installable executable from 
<http://www.paneura.com/~dino/wjed.html> .

Under command prompt I have set codepage 1252, so that I can write text
files in Latin-1 character set and read these files in other programs
without any character conversions etc. It seems that I can't use
wjed.exe, because my screenreader program has some cursor problems with
it. Jed.exe works fine, only problems are "\" and "@" characters.

Pressing Altgr+2 or Altgr++ doesn't produce any characters. I can hear
a beep which tells that something is wrong but I don't know which value
I should change in the jed.rc file. I also can't type letter "a" with
gravis accent.

Here is my jed.rc. Could someone look at it and tell if I should change
or add something?

%   User Initialization file for the JED editor  -*- slang -*-
%   If a user does not have a startup file in the user's home directory,
%   JED will automatically load this from JED_ROOT/lib.   Thus it is easier
%   for a system manager to make defaults for all users.

%   Do not edit this file directly.  Instead, copy it to your home 
%   directory (sys$login:jed.rc on VMS or $HOME/.jedrc on Unix) and edit
%   the resulting file.

%   To uncomment a line, simply remove any leading '%' characters.

%   This file is divided into various sections.  The first section pertains
%   to keybindings (e.g., Wordstar, Emacs, EDT, etc...) and the following
%   sections pertain to user preferences such as default TAB sizes, line 
%   and column numbers on status line, colors, indentation style, etc...

%  Keybindings  (not loaded for batch processes)
%  
%    Default bindings are Emacs-like with EDT emulation on Unix and VMS.
%    For the PC, only Emacs is enabled by default.  If you do not want EDT
%    bindings, simply coment out the appropriate line.   
%
%    For Wordstar like bindings, comment out EDT and Emacs lines and
%    uncomment Wordstar line.  A similar statement applies for BRIEF,
%    and for Borland IDE-like bindings.
%
%  () = evalfile("emacs");           % Emacs-like bindings
%  () = evalfile("edt");             % EDT emulation

  () = evalfile ("wmark");	%Windows-like regions
%  () = evalfile ("brief");          % Brief Keybindings (MSDOS only!!)
%  () = evalfile("wordstar");        % obsolete --- use ide instead)
%  () = evalfile ("cua");            % CUA-like key bindings
%  Note: For EDT emulation, jed386.exe requires that the GOLD.COM TSR 
%        be loaded.  This TSR is available from space.mit.edu:/pub/davis/jed.

% Some of the above emulations may set keys that conflict with access to
% the menubars.  For example, emacs uses ESC-f to move by words.  The 
% next line causes the keys to activate the menus.  Comment this out
% to preserve the emulation.
   enable_menu_keys ();

% If you use jed inside an XTerminal, you can use the mouse to access the 
% menus and move the cursor by uncommenting the next line:
%  enable_xmouse ();
   
% What should the Ctrl-H key do??  
%
%  setkey ("bol", "^H");              % causes ^H to go to beg of line (EDT)
%  setkey ("help_prefix", "^H");      % Uncomment to have Ctrl-H as help

   %  !!!!  ^S/^Q flow control problems !!!!
   %  if you experience problems with JED suddenly going into search mode
   %  for some reason then you are a victim of the emacs emulation's 
   %  binding of the ^S key to the search function.
   %  TO prevent this from happening, either find out how to 
   %  prevent unwanted ^S/^Q characters or uncomment the next line:
