I'm running Quattro Pro 8.0.0.709 under Windows 95B (4.00.950B) on a
300 MHz PII with 64K RAM. In text fields, I've long been accustomed
to using (by typing ALT-nnn) the old code-page 850 codes for
characters beyond 127, but in QP I don't get the results I expect.
What do I have to do to use these characters? I'd really hate to have
to learn a whole new alphabet!

True. But I'd still want to know what code to enter (by ALT-nnn) for
the Greek letters and mathematical and other symbols on the CP 850.
And I still need to export or write files my other applications will
understand--at present they do understand CP 850. In other words, I
need to know the correspondences between what key I press on the
keyboard, what I see on my monitor, and what gets written to file. No
doubt the information is somewhere in the manual or help files, but I
find them hard to navigate and would appreciate a pointer.

Thanks anyway!
