Good evening.
Yes, I tried that too, but it does not work.
Googling the topic I found an article "Entering a backslash when using 
UK keyboard layout on US keyboard" saying that you can get a backslash
by typing <Alt>92.
That gives me again a Yen mark.
Installing a US keyboard layout (again) does not help either.

I guess, I have to think of some other solution.
Sorry for having you all bothered with this.
Thomas
