Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you. Deadkeys are broken
on W95 with german keyboard. This is documented by Microsoft in their
knowledge base, case Q140456:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q140/4/56.asp
They don't have a solution for that problem either, except for
noting: "This problem was corrected in Windows 2000."
The problem is that when reading the keyboard, every other Windows
reports the correct backtick ASCII character when pressing the
space key. In W95 with german keyboard, it returns _always_ ASCII
code 0x00 when pressing backtick as well as the following space,
unfortunately.
However, as a workaround you might think of installing inetd so that
telnetd works on your machine. Then you will be able to use a good
telnet client (I have very good experiences with TeraTerm:
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html ) to login to
localhost. In that terminal sessions you will be able to press the
backtick as well since the Windows console code isn't used then.
Sorry to have no better news,
Corinna
