Has anyone else had a problem with the \ key not working?
I've tried all sorts of things and just cannot get a \ on the screen.
Kinda makes using DOS difficult :)

Make sure you use US international keyboard.

Try using the KEYB XX command to change keyboard layout to whatever you're using.

(replace XX with the two letter code from your language)

Cheers,

Ah. Thanks.
I'd installed DOS with UK keyboard as default

Sorted now, thanks for the quick response :D
