I don't know, if we talk about the same thing. 
I meant Edit for FreeDOS v0.5. And that's not a COM file, but an EXE.

Then it simply does nothing.

<AltGr> alone selects the menu.

No, while the menu is activated, it does nothing. And when I press
<AltGR> twice, it still just writes the "ß".


And even if that worked, I would still call it a bug, because it's not
the normal behaviour: it would be not obvious and makes things more 
complicated.

Again:
I myself use another editor now - but it causes trouble to those, who
only have the base installation - that's why I reported the bug.
