- You did not tell us what Operating system you run on the Compac.
Is it Windows XP?
- The number for the French "é" accent is 0233, not 130.
- You can find all characters, accented or otherwise, by running
charmap.exe.

RTFM yet? On my (non-Compaq) laptop, I must use Fn (Function
key)+ALT+[numbers].
