I do not.

I can confirm, that this also works on my (German) XP installation.
But this test procedure does not work on FreeDOS 1.3 RC3 (with DOSLFN 0.41) or DOSLFN 0.41c (http://adoxa.altervista.org/doslfn/) loaded.

Don't worry! We all learn from our errors/failures only. :-D

Confirmed.

I think, it is a common one. How could I start external Tetris otherwise? :-P

You mean moving the text cursor by pressing left and right arrow keys?
Works on XP.
Only prints à (to be more correct: alpha sign), but doesn't move text cursor. Using Bochs with FreeDOS 1.3 RC3.

Feature request: Could you add Ctrl+Shift+Up/Dn to move a complete line? I often use this in Notepad2 on Windows for sorting my todo.txt.
