Introduction

The TravelMate Computer character sets are identical to the IBM Code
Pages for

MS-DOS

. This appendix shows the character sets for Code Page 437

(United States), 850 (Multilingual), 863 (Canadian-French), and 865
(Nordic), with the decimal and hexadecimal codes for each character.

The four-character sets contain differences in the international, symbol,
and graphics characters above decimal code 128 (extended

ASCII

characters).

Note: The extended

ASCII

characters that are not on the keyboard (128 to

255 decimal) can be displayed at the

MS-DOS

prompt and in many applica-

tions. Press Alt, and type the

ASCII

decimal code for the character using the

keys with numbers on their front face and also using Fn or
Num Lk on. Release the Alt key and the character is displayed on the
screen. Your printer may or may not print the extended characters. Refer to
the character code tables in your printer documentation.
