Hi Carlos,

On 2024-04-17 21:46:20, you wrote to me:

That shouldn't make a difference, because the \ is in the same place for both. But you could try setting it to 437 with the 'chcp 437' command in your terminal before you start fconfig.
Btw: Can you type the \ in your terminal on the command line?
Btw2: Can you type the \ in other more free text fields, like the Comment field of an area?

If I set mine to 850, I can still enter the \ in fconfig.

There's also the windows keyboard/language settings you could play with.


Bye, Wilfred.
