For those who are interested in accessing extended ASCII character set.
In DOS:
Hold down the <Alt> key while typing the decimal number on the keyboard keypad. (Example: <Alt>178)
In Windows for a DOS character:
Hold down <Alt> while typing the decimal on the keyboard keypad. (Example: <Alt>230)
In Windows for a WIN character:
Hold down <Alt> while typing "0" then the decimal number on the keyboard keypad. (Example: <Alt>0140)
To get ñ
1) activate Num Lock
2) hold down Alt key
3) on number key-pad (usually below Num Lock), type 0241 (while holding down Alt key) and
4) then release Alt key.
so "Alt+0241" gets ñ
