SUMMARY
=======

When you type commands in the Run dialog box, you may not be able to type some
extended characters. A black line or box may appear instead of some of the
extended characters you type.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior occurs because Windows uses MS Sans Serif for its system font.
This font does not include a complete set of extended characters.
