David,
I did read it before I commented and I had manually
scrolled down to the bottom, tried a few items and
they didnt give same result as that stated re "right alt" keys.
e.g (right alt + 5 should give Euro symbol € but it gave ♣
[black Club card] symbol in case it doesnt come out as that at your end.)
What I didnt do was that I didnt check to see what your
links actually said as each took me to the usual
"page cannot be displayed" screen, not move me down the page
as I would have expected if they were on same page.
That is why I gave the comment I did.
Viz, below is what I still get.
(sample was the link to Character map which is "mid://00002501/" )
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for might have been removed or had its name changed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please try the following:
a.. Open the 00002501 home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
b.. If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
If you still cannot open the page, click the Internet Explorer
Search button to look for similar sites.

I thank you for the latest attachment, will read it and see what it says.

Alt + Character Code
Holding down alt and pressing the character code on the numeric keypad will enter that character. The keyboard language in use must support entering that character. If your keyboard supports it the code is shown on the right hand side of the status bar in Character Map else this section of the status bar is empty.
However there is two ways of entering codes. The point to remember here that the characters are the same for the first 127 codes. The difference is if the first number typed is a zero of not. If it is then the code will insert the character from the current character set else it will insert a character from the OEM character set.
E.G., Alt + 0 then 6 then 5 then release Alt enters the letter A

Entering International Characters - US International Keyboards
Install the US International keyboard. Start - Control Panel - Regional And Language Options - Languages - Details - Add. While here review the Key Settings to switch keyboards or turn on the Language Bar (Advanced Text Services must not be disabled).
This works in two modes. Right Alt or Shift + Right Alt + another key and also by pressing dead keys (such as accents). On non US Keyboards the Right Alt key is called Alt Gr.
Right Alt is the same key as Ctrl + Left Alt on the US International keyboards, and on almost all keyboards except the standard US keyboards where left and right keys are treated the same . This is a reason why Ctrl + Alt should not be used to set hotkeys. Also F12 should also not be used for hotkeys as it's reserved for attaching a debugger.

The Dead Keys
The dead keys are the apostrophe ('), quotation mark ("), accent grave (`), tilde (~), and caret (^). If these are pressed the system waits for the next key. If it is in the list below then it enters the symbol character else it enters both keys seperately. These work with uppercase where appropiate.

' then e é
' then y ý

Tips
Like Accessibility there is a trick here with general applicability. Normally Caps Lock is on or off and stays on or off untill the key is pressed again. This can be changed to act like a typewriter at Start - Control Panel - Regional And Language Options - Languages - Details - Key Settings and one can select whether another Caps Lock press will turn off Caps Lock or if pressing the Shift key will turn it off like on a typewriter.
