>Organization:
JINR, LHE
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386 (need nothing else than standard installation)

>Description:

	From keyboard(4):
	``The console allows entering values that are not physically present on the
	keyboard via a special keysequence.  To use this facility press and hold
	down ALT, then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical key-
	pad, then release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value
	for one character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value, not
	present on the keyboard.''

	This feature don't work under 3.2-RELEASE. If this is a bug, then you
	need to fix syscons sources, else you need to fix documentation :) .

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to enter value under syscons as described above.

>Fix:
	
	Don't know.
