machine running Windows, international characters are sent
using the codes defined in the Character Map Accessory.
International characters work directly with the following
Windows applications:
• Write • Paintbrush
• Notepad • Microsoft Works for Windows
International characters do not directly transfer correctly to
the following Window applications:
• Word Perfect 5.2, 6.0
To transfer international characters to these applications,
1. Transfer your file to Windows Write or Notepad (or
another application that does accept international char-
acters directly),
2. Select your text, then Copy the text (so that it is in the
Windows clipboard),
3. Open a file in one of the above applications, and
4. Paste the text into your document.
Note: The reason that the international characters don't
directly transfer into these applications is that these applica-
tions don't support the Microsoft international character set.
Fortunately, by copying and pasting through the clipboard, the
clipboard performs the appropriate translations.
All non-international characters transfer correctly to all
Windows and DOS applications.
