As you're all no doubt aware, eleven European countries acquired a new
currency
on January 1 this year. This currency, the Euro, is represented by this
symbol
:-



The keyboard shipped with the Network Station now includes this symbol in
one
of two positions; on the [4] key on UK English keyboards and the [E] key
elsewhere in Europe. We have a supply of key-tops for keyboards shipped
previously without the legend. The symbol is accessed by pressing the [Alt
Gr]
key along with the [4] or [E] key as appropriate.

Network Station Manager PTF 3 is required on the boot server for this key to
be
active; the updated NSM includes a new Boot Monitor, V3.0.7.2.

At this time, the symbol can only be generated in the 5250 and 3270
emulators;
it is not available in other programs such as X11, ICA, NC Navigator etc.

A new parameter, -EURO, needs to be added to the NS5250 or NS3270 command.
This
is best achieved using Network Station Manager.

Finally, it is necessary to ensure that the keyboard language and NSM
language
( locale ) information is set appropriately.

I've tested this here in Hursley using a PS/2 keyboard ( p/n 1391406 ) and a
8361 Series 300 unit. It works as expected; on an AS/400 running OS/400
V4R3, I
get a new keyboard language of UKE ( UK with Euro support ).

Finally, there are two group PTFs for OS/400 V4R2 and V4R3 which give the
full
set of Euro PTFs; they are SF99207 and SF99208 respectively.

Finally, NSM R3 PTF 3 is available for the AS/400 via PTF SF99082 as usual.
