Sure I've got it.  

I wondered what was wrong with BC++ 3.0, i.e. why this only
happens to *Borland's* products.  I have namely experienced this same
'feature' :-) in TP 6.0 and BC++ 2.0.  It seems like the trouble lies in their
Turbo Vision Library, because even VED (a shareware editor using Turbo Vision)
gave me this problem. (That is, AltGr-combinations doesn't work, unshifted
arrow keys marks blocks)

I also wanted to know what these QEMM options dis to *fix* the problem.
Not only what they do, as you have correctly reproduced, but why it works
in the Borland case.

Sure it did!  I guess you also read the posting from Sidney Markowitz
(Borland)?  He explained the problem good enough for me...
