Get and LOAD SEPARATR.PRN, a multi-CodePage Separator Table:
 http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/SEPARATR.ZIP
Comment out four lines in it, according to your Code Page (437/850, or 1252)

Try ACNT1252.PRN, an Accent Table for Code Page 1252:
 http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/ACNT1252.ZIP
This table excludes lowercase y diaeresis (y-"umlaut") because it is a
three-byte character 255, and Accent Tables don't work with three-byte
characters.
