Although Roman-8 is a fairly popular character set, especially among users of the European-language versions of HP BASIC, it is not available under Windows. Since HTBasic depends upon the operating system for character set support, you should convert from Roman-8 to the native character set of your computer. A conversion program is presented in the next section.
If you must use the Roman-8 character set, the sections following the translation program section describe solutions that give most of the capabilities needed. To use a different character set you must 1) change the character set used by the display, 2) change the character set produced by the keyboard, 3) change the lexical order rules, and 4) change the LABEL character definitions.
