From PRM3/p780: "Remember that you should normally only need to change the country setting as this will also change the keyboard." The Country Russia command line is enough to use the keyboard with !Netsurf N.B. I discovered this morning that you could have Cyrillic characters in Stronged, just choose in the Panelfont: System Change with configure keyboard to russia. You need to use shift + alt to get cyrillic characters otherwise it will be a US keyboard. Another manipulation which explains above. Open !Char and select: System Font. Now open Configure Keyboard and change the country !Char update its display. I did not know this possibility. -- Jean-Michel
