Displaying Alternate Characters - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

Displaying Alternate Characters

PT250 mode uses two character sets called Standard and Alternate to display
characters. Both sets incorporate all the characters contained in the ASCII (7-bit or
lower half) and PT250 Additional (8-bit or upper half) character set tables shown in
the Character Sets appendix in the Programmer's Guide.
When the emulation is in 7-bit mode, only the lower half (i.e 7-bit part) of the
Standard and Alternate character sets can be used, so the ASCII characters in the
Alternate character set are replaced by the PT250 Additional characters, which are
then treated as 7-bit characters.
You can toggle between Standard and Alternate character set mode by pressing the
Alt + A (PC-AT) or Meta + A (Sun) keys together. This emulates the function of the
Char Set key found on the PT250 keyboard, enabling you to display characters from
the Additional character set which are not available for the keyboard nationality you
have selected in setup.
The following table lists the Standard ASCII characters in the left column with their
equivalent Additional characters in the right column of each block. Press the key
bearing the ASCII character to generate the Additional character when you are in
Alternate character set mode.
