Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

> ## Windows screen and keyboard

> The code page used for the Windows screen and keyboard is configurable by the user. To find the settings, look at the regional settings in the control panel window.

> | To test individual characters with the ALT key and the numeric keypad:

> 1. In Windows, start a simple application, such as Notepad, that lets you enter characters.

> 2. Press and hold ALT, then press 0 on the numeric keypad, followed by a three-digit decimal number on the numeric keypad, for a total of four digits.

> 3. Release the ALT key. The character corresponding to the three-digit decimal number appears on the screen.

> 4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 to get several pairs of characters and numbers.

> 5. Compare your character-number pairs against likely code pages to determine the correct code page.

> Another way to get a list of character-number pairs to compare against a likely code page is to run OpenEdge on Windows, set `-cpinternal` to `undefined`, and run the following code fragment:

>     REPEAT:
>       READKEY.
>       DISPLAY LASTKEY CHR(LASTKEY).
>     END.
