On my PC (win 98), with Netscape 4.7, the majority of
the
special characters don't work (i.e., they appear blank and
don't move the cursor when hit...like double-quote (")).
Some work, but differently. (Shift 2 (or was it shift-3?)
got me a double quote (instead of the "@" (or #)). Also,
backspace doesn't seem to work.
Many micro's of that time had the " as shift-2, but I wish I had a
Sorcerer to confirm it followed the style of the Commodore etc. My
problem was that I could not find a key to give the = sign - it should
be two over to the right of the "0" I think, but that key is dead. Other
keys follow the Atari/CBM etc layout and CTRL-H works for backspace.
However simple BASIC statements (that did not use "=") ran fine. Not a
bad achievement for a Java program that loads in less than a minute.
