Setting Country and Keyboard Codes

The first example uses only a hardware code page; code-page switching is not used. The commands tell DOS to accept the country information for France and load the French keyboard program. This example is similar in most European countries.

To the end of your CONFIG.SYS file, add the following line:

country=033,,c:\dos\country.sys 

To the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add the following line:

keyb fr,,c:\dos\keyboard.sys 

The default AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains two lines at the end of the file that invoke AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the E: or H: drive. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file still contains these lines, place the international command lines before them.
