Msg: Re: going to L

In principle, you have to use Mill's Method of Difference: vary one factor at a time until you isolate one that the effect tracks.

E.g., what if you don't load that kbd file (XyWrite will function w/o any kbd file loaded)? What happens with a blank startup.int?

Are the characters in pre-existing files showing up with the wrong capitalization when you open them? What if you change the codepage?

This is assuming you've already tried the mega-solution: re-boot.

I am quite certain the answer to this is gonna make me feel stupid, but I cannot get xywrite to make a lower case L, as in l. all the L’s in my keyboard file are showing caps, as are L’s in any file on any disk I care to access.

curiously, on the command line, L behaves, caps with shift or capslock, lowercase otherwise; but not in text.

it’s an omnikey ultra keyboard that otherwise works fine. I’m using vdosplus with windows 7. it’s a new/used hewlett packard laptop, but a week ago it was not doing this. the keyboard is the only thing I’ve changed, but as I noted it’s capable of lowercase on the xy command line. and the keyboard couldn’t be changing l to L in all my files.

it’s only the L. I guess I could get used to it, but not sure my editors would be so charitable.
