I am using a Swedish keyboard on FC3 and I just found out where I

used by FC3.
But now I have discovered that the key mappings are incorrect!
In fact there is no way I have found to enter characters like $ and \
anymore. These foreign characters are mapped on a Swedish keyboard to
the right hand Alt key plus 4 and + respecively. But when I use these
combinations nothing happens!
So how are you supposed to enter £ $ \ { } [ ] | @ in FC3 when you use
a Swedish keyboard?
I suppose this is a problem also for German key layouts where there
are a lot of national characters on the main map.
On the VirtualPC list I received advice that the VPC manager is
capturing the Right-Alt as a "Host key" which has functions to move
mouse control back to the host operating system among others.
Advice was to change this host key mapping to Right-Ctrl or similar.
I thought that I should mention it also here for any future thread
search.
Except it did not cure the problem...
Still no special characters!

To change the mapping from US to Swedish keyboard:
Desktop -> System Setting -> Keyboard
Choose Swedish
If you want £ $ \ { } [ ] | @ you use Alt Gr and correponding key.
If you have Swedish keyboard, they should marked out in the keyboard.
