3-14 Configuring ROM-DOS

Note that the keyboard code page could be set to

not match the display

code page. This can lead to confusion, as the keyboard may produce
characters that appear on screen as other symbols. Continuing the
above example, if you are using the German layout with keyboard code
page 850, but your display code page is 437, and you produce an
uppercase A with a caret above it, the screen displays a box drawing
character.

Configuring Your System: an Example

To completely configure your system, you need to include commands in
your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. The following sample files
set up a computer to use German conventions; to use code page 850 for
sorting, uppercase conversions, and the display; and to switch the
keyboard layout to German. COUNTRY.SYS is assumed to be in the root
directory of the boot drive, and DISPLAY.SYS, EGA.CPI, KEYB.COM, and
KEYBOARD.SYS are assumed to be in the C:\DOS directory.
