Keyboard issue with Propeller Tool

When using propeller tool with a belgian french keyboard on my toshiba notebook, propeller tool does not react as expected to typing special character using alt-gr.
Attachment shows the issue when typing the vertical bar with alt-gr 1.
With any program, I get a "|".
With propeller tool I get what is shown in the attachment: [noparse][[/noparse]superscript "-1"] and "|".
Get around is simple but boring: left shift, backspace, right shift.
What's the problem?
Can you fix it?
Thanks

Nothing is impossible, there are only different degrees of difficulty.
For every stupid question there is at least one intelligent answer.
Don't guess - ask instead.
If you don't ask you won't know.
If your gonna construct something, make it·as simple as·possible yet as versatile as posible.

- alt-gr "4" gives [noparse][[/noparse]Yen] anf "{"
- alt-gr "`" gives "``" after hiting space (dead key)
- alt-gr "´" gives "´´"...
- alt-gr "~" gives "~~"...
- alt-gr ";" gives a black box
- "§" gives nothing!
Again, this is typical to Propeller Tool; Notepad (or any other program) has the appropriate reaction!
In windows for each country you have a translation table, which translates the keys hit on the keyboard (which sends a so called scan code) to the ascii value. And that's what the keyboard driver also is doing. If you have a look at the end of the keyboard.spin you will find this table. Change it to your needs and post the result here, so that each belgian/french propeller-fan can use it.
The keyboard of my toshiba is defined as "belgian french" and works very well with any program, except the propeller tool.
As I said, when I type the pipe sign "|", (I have to type alt-gr "&") I get two characters on the propeller:
- a superscript "-1" that's coming from nowhere (not defined in any character tables)
- and the pipe character
You can allways erase that funny "-1" afterwards, but it's not funny at all!
Anyway, it was a great opportunity for me to go thru the keyboard.spin code
All others seem to work fine.
It used to annoy me but now I use BST on Linux[noparse]:)[/noparse]
