SYMPTOMS
========
When you type an ALT+<number> key combination in Notepad, you may
experience unexpected results. Rather than generating an ANSI character from the
current codepage, the key combination may perform a task, such as cut or copy.
For example, the ALT+22 key combination performs a paste operation.
CAUSE
=====
Each of the first 32 characters in the current codepage has an associated
control character. If a control character also represents a task in Notepad,
that task is performed when you enter the key combination. For example, ALT+22
corresponds to the control character CTRL+V, which represents the Paste command
in Notepad.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
