SYMPTOMS

Pressing the right ALT key in an ALT+ENTER key combination may not switch an MS-DOS session between windowed and full-screen mode.

CAUSE

In non-U.S. keyboard layouts, the right ALT key is not an ALT key. It is the ALTGR key, which is used to enter national language characters.

RESOLUTION

To switch an MS-DOS session between windowed and full-screen mode, use the left ALT key in the ALT+ENTER key combination.
