Hello everybody.

I've once tried do translate the keyboard driver to work properly with a swedish keyboard. It works well until I try to write a special character (like &). When I do I'll get a another character from the .getkey routine. I've figured out that the error occour because the special keys are placed different on a swedish keyboard than an english one, so I watched the code for a while and tried to replace the wrong characters in the table to the right ones (on my keyboard), it worket quite well until I tried to insert the characters '

    You'll need to make a list of the character codes you want and the scan codes and shift keys that your keyboard produces for those characters and maybe we can start a library of translation tables. I'm sure the same problem is troubling others with different non-English keyboards.
