I've tried it with TAME and without. I checked every file in the XY
skein of directories for a misapplied setting -- such as df la=437.
I've called up XY plain vanilla from a DOS prompt, did CM default
la=850, got the confirm and still get 437 from VA/NV LA. I've even
searched the entire HD for the text string la= and all I get is df
la=850 in my settings.dfl. I'm going to run through all this one more
time to make sure I did not make any errors. And a Scrooge Christmas
to Harry for bringing this up. I was going along in my blissfully
ignorant way, using U2's handy "Accents" routine and a nifty little
routine Robert authored to put macrons in the Romanji I'm using.
Finally, for the uninitiated, do we have to load CP 850 at DOS before
we can use it or is it part of the normal DOS set-up (under whatever
iteration of WIN)?
