I am sorry, but I *DID* run the localizer to install the proper
keyboardmapping resources. All keys are at the correct position,
only the spacebar generates a BREAK, as I now understand.
The prerelease VersaTerm generates a BREAK of equal length,
no matter the baudrate. VersaTerm 1.32 generates a break of a 
length depending on the baudrate, as I wrote before.
  The moral is not to reference keys directly, but rather look for the
characters that they generate, if you want foreign compatability.
 
So things are NOT well yet! (So sorry) 
I will also respond by mail lra, whatever goes faster (we
desperately need a good terminal emulator).
