(I think this should be taken to -questions.)

That's an acute accent (the same diacritic as in 'é'), not an
apostrophe.

Take a look at some of the provided *.acc.kbd keymaps.
There are several "dXXX" dead keys, where XXX is an abbreviation
(first three letters of the name) for the diacritic in questions.
An example entry for a dead acute accent to provide 'é'--I think
that's a character used in Dutch--could look like this:
dacu 180 ('e' 233) ('E' 201)
This means:
- define _d_ead key for _acu_te accent,
- the accent on its own is character 180 (´),
- combined with 'e' it gives character 233 (é),
- combined with 'E' it gives character 201 (É).

Works fine here, if you use the VGA default (or explicitly load a
CP437 font) and load the iso-8859-1_to_cp437 screen map. Of course,
the screen map facility is mostly a fallback for users of MDA/HGA/CGA
cards where the font is fixed. If you have EGA/VGA, you want to
load a proper font instead.

You didn't activate the ISO 8859-1 -> CP437 screen map.
