$ reports '223' With Swiss French Keyboard on Windows

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Trevor,

Strange... I have no Windows available home, but I made a little  
standalone to check it with Crossover, and the "$" character number  
becomes... 92 ! And it's not the only case, even if for most of chars  
the numbers are corrects. For the "French french" keyboard "$" number  
is 59 and for the American one it is 36, OK.
I think the responsability is on the "Windoïds" for Mac, it should be  
tested on a native Windows.
