    Hi,
    with the final version I can no longer use <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Key> combinations in DOS box applications. E.g. in RC2 I was able to press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-ß on german keyboard to get the \.

    Now if press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-ß on German keyboard in the Windows XP SP2 DOS box (e.g. cmd), I get a \ on command line but if I press the same combination in a DOS application like the EDIT.EXE editor, the Alt-Menü comes up instead of the \.

    Looks like <Ctrl>-<Alt> is passed like <Alt> or the combination is passed to slow to DOS applications so it's interpreted as <Alt> only.

    I do understand that the <AltGr> key is not supported due to limitation on the Mac. I am talking about pressing the <Ctrl> key and the <Alt> key.

    This was working in RC2!
