With CpPal, you can change the "process" codepage to either value set in config.sys. More usefully, you can also set the PM "message queue" codepage to any of the 100+ values in country.sys. PM will use this codepage to translate keystrokes into characters and character values into the glyphs displayed in a window.
v0.30 is "Phase I" of CpPal's development. If it proves useful, "Phase II" will provide a true palette of user-defined presets and the option to change the target's font when the PM codepage changes.
Warning: changing codepages may have undesirable effects. In particular, files whose names contain non-ASCII characters may become inaccessible if the current process codepage does not match the one in effect when the file was created. To avoid system-wide problems, CpPal will not permit you to change the codepages used by the shell process (pmshell #1), the WPS, and CpPal itself.
CpPal is freeware released under the Gnu GPL and includes the complete source code.
