Can anybody explain to me why I can no longer compose extended  characters
(like  French  e acute and so) by using my alt-key and some code?  Is this
because I upgraded to DOS 5.0 or because of some TSR that I am running  or
what?  (I'm  adding a copy of my autoexec.bat and config.sys) And how do I
get back that capability?  Any help would be greatly appreciated

Here comes my autoexec.bat:

echo off
ver
enhkbd
set esppro=c:\retc\esppro
set editor=c:\rbin\esp.exe
set comspec=c:\command.com
set pcplus=c:\pcm
astclock/m
sotacach /hard on /dos 16
path=c:\;c:\dos;\ut\km;c:\ut\fb;c:\ut\nu;\ut\pctls;c:\wp51;\pc;\db;c:\123;c:\ut\vs;c:\bf;D:\STACKER;;C:\AN3
ALARM -K 3
explosiv -
nc

And this is my config.sys:

shell=c:command.com  /E:512 /P
device=ansi.sys
DEVICE=DMDRVR.BIN
device=c:\dos\driver.sys /d:0 /f:0
files=35
buffers=25
DEVICEhigh=D:\STACKER\STACKER.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK C:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICEhigh=D:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICEhigh=D:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
device=c:\sota286i.sys
