Hello!


I am trying to redefine the Umlaut keys on my German keyboard for EPM
5.51.

Basically, I am trying to compile this with etpm:

def '*' =
   keyin 'something_else'

This works fine when * is a normal alphabetic character (e.g., 'a' -
'z'). But it fails when I use a German Umlaut character: etpm
complains about "invalid key name".

The EPM Technical Reference states that I can redefine "any printable
character whose ASCII value is between 0 and 255". So how do I
redefine the a-Umlaut key (ASCII 132), which is definitely printable
and between 0 and 255?


Thanks for any help
Harald
