Summary:

The “Mac Daisy Link User’s Manual” incorrectly states on pages 40-41 that to get an “e” with an acute accent (accent slanting to the right), the proper code sequence is as follows:

0 44 8 101

The correct procedure is as follows:

  Launch the MDL Utility by double-clicking it at the Finder level.   MDL will ask Select Driver to Open. Navigate to the System Folder, open it, and double-click on the file “MDL v1.05”.   From the Edit menu, choose Character Translation.   In the Character box, type “142” (without quotation marks).   Press the TAB key. This will display the accented “e” character to the right of that box and advance the cursor to the row below titled “Translation”.   Fill in the four boxes with the following numbers: 101 8 27 90   Click Set, then click Done.   Quit the MDL Utility. </li></ol>

Another undocumented character is the cents sign. This can be obtained by following the above procedure, substituting the number 162 in step 4 and the following numbers in step 6:
