System is 4.00.950.B.  I happen to have it configured for GB but
I wouldn't expect this to be different than USA in this respect -
CP850 is supposed to be an available option in both locales I think.

Hmmm.  I think fonts may have something to do with it.

I'm sorry for wasting your time with nlsfunc and country=.  I told
you in all honesty that I didn't understand the details of this stuff,
and merely sent you the config.sys and autoexec.bat as I had it.
I have now tried commenting-out nlsfunc and country= and ansi.sys, and
Lynx still works fine as I described - set for CP850 it correctly 
displays every valid iso-8859-1 code.  I also tried de-installing 
the Windows multilanguage support, and that made no difference either.

Fonts?  Well, the MS DOS configuration menu doesn't say anything 
about what the font is called - it only offers to reconfigure its
size.  However, if I look in my fonts folder I find these:

Terminal     =  vga850.fon
MS-DOS CP850 =  app850.fon

Maybe it's one of these that's doing the magic.  I'll contact you
off the list about this, and we can report any results back, OK?.
