I'm in France trying to use an AZERTY keyboard. When I try to type any ALT character in a ChUI _progres the editor ignores me. For example, backslash is "ALT GR - 8" (right ALT key - 8).
It must be something silly. Anyone?

if I'm just at the DOS prompt, ALTGR-8 gives me a backslash and ALTGR-3 gives me a #. Neither works in the Progress editor.
Same problem here. Different solutions :
* Use forward slashes, they're also accepted under windows.
* I'm personally using WinCompose ( github.com/.../wincompose ) which let you use the right alt key in a very interesting way
* Install the US keyboard layout, I assume you know it by heart
Interesting. Using READKEY and LASTKEY, AltGr-8 has a key code of 1080, which is why the Procedure Editor is not treating it as a backslash. I don't know if this is a known issue or not. I found some existing bugs that look similar, but have not yet been addressed. I would suggest contacting Tech Support, just so that a bug can be logged.
