Clipboard Paste Issues with Specific Characters in Borland C Console Editor

[bjh]

When using an old console editor, compiled with Borland C, I find that some characters do not paste from the clipboard, viz:

) * + : ; < = > ? @ ^ l (upper case L is ok!).

All paste ok in other console applications, and when using the legacy console!

Does anyone have an explanation for this oddity, or, better still, a solution?

What old console editor?

A home made one!

If it's some custom console then I'd say it's a bug or shortcoming of the developed application. It would be impossible to give advice on some custom application.
