I costumer has bought an Alphaserver 400 with VMS and DECwindows Motif (FIS). He noticed that, when he tried to configure the keyboard in Decwindows, his keyboard, an LK471AV, does not appear in the Decwindows keyboard option. He complains that when he tries to do the "/" (backslash that is on the number 7 key), he gets nothing. The key is working because he can do the "7". I have searched for some articles on this and found zip. Can someone give me a hand? NelsonR.

The LK471-AV should be replaced with an LK46x-xx series, if possible. (I don't recognize the language variant represented by the AV suffix.) The customer will not likely be happy with the PC keyboard -- either the wrong keyboard was ordered, or this system was ordered for NT and then switched over to OpenVMS. For the LK47x-xx, try using the `LK443' or the `LK444' keyboard series. These are likely closest match to the `LK47x' series keyboard. I'd strongly recommend getting an `LK46x' series, however -- I'd expect the customer will not be happy with the PC-layout keyboard on OpenVMS. This question has been asked fairly regularly -- and in various notes conferences. (The DECwindows conference is -- as mentioned -- a better spot for these questions.)
