Entering Characters; Compose Sequences - Northern Telecom NAC User Manual

Entering characters

Compose sequences

Any international characters available on language specific keyboards may
be entered as part of textual input in the various screens. Some international
characters may not be available directly on the keyboard and special
keyboard sequences may be required to enter these characters.
The tables in this section describe the key sequences required for each
keyboard type.
Refer to Table 18-3 if the workstation is a DEC VT220, DEC VT420, or a
PC running Reflection 4+. (DEC VT320 is compatible with DEC VT420.)
The different types of keyboards use different compose sequences that must
be entered before entering international characters.
DEC VT220 and VT420
To create an international character on a DEC VT220 or VT420, the
compose sequence is the {COMPOSE} key followed by the appropriate
key sequence.
Note: Since the DEC VT220 does not provide full international
support, a question mark ( ? ) may be displayed in cases where the
appropriate character is not available on the VT220.
Reflection 4+ for DOS
To create an international character on a PC running Reflection 4+, the
compose sequence is {ALT}{F8} followed by the appropriate key
sequence.
Note: Reflection 4+ Release 4.1 or higher is recommended because it
has full international support. Releases 3.4 to 4.0 have partial
international support. International support is not available below
Release 3.4.
