LYNX-DEV [Lynx-Win32]: Problem with international keyboard

[Bernhard Muenzer]

This problem might be a peculiarity of the way direct console input is 
interpreted by the Borland C compiler used to make the Win32 binary 
distribution of Lynx 2.72.

I run the Win32 port of Lynx 2.71 in an NT box with a German keyboard layout 
and the IBM PC codepage 850 cxharacter set.

Whenever I try to enter a non-alphanumeric character, the corresponding 
character that occupies the same place on a US keyboard is selected instead.

For example, on the German keyboard, the characters above the number keys are 
not
  address@hidden&*()
  1234567890
but
  !" $%&/()=
  1234567890
so when I want to type a slash, I get '&' instead.

Using Windows cut-and-paste from the clipboard does the same character 
substitution, so I can't cut and paste an URL from a news article or an email.

This does not seem to be a peculiarity of the console window, since this type 
of character substitution only occurs after invocation of Lynx (so I can 
cut-and-paste an URL submitted to the command line).

On my German keyboard, the letters Z and Y are also exchanged (so it's a 
QWERTZ keyboard), but the Y and Z letters get entered correctly.
