Yes.

I have ALWAYS had this problem.

I am beginning to wonder if it is a Windows keyboard mapping thing?

Not sure how to change it in Windows though?

It does seem odd that there are just half a dozen keystrokes that don't work
but this oen I really do need.

Interesting, not something I had thought about.

When I found and checked 'input device' I had both US and UK keyboards
installed.

I changed to make it UK only and VOILA....... All working.

MANY MANY thanks.
