Use them as usual in DBF's, from the keyboard, and in your .prg
files. Windows has its own ideas about characters outside 32-126
(it uses a version of the ANSI character set). However, DOS,
Clipper, DBF's etc. are firmly using what Windows calls the OEM
Character Set. It is not very readable to code special characters
using chr(n), so use the OemToAnsi() function if you can (e.g. in
menus, window titles and the MessageBox() function). Try using the
ES_OEMCONVERT and CBS_OEMCONVERT styles with edit controls and combo
boxes, so that user input can be handled by the AnsiToOem() function.
Example: to use International characters in a window title:
hWnd := WinSetup(APP_NAME, ;
OemToAnsi("International Title Here"))
