Because you haven't set up the country information correctly, the default
is set for the United States.
To remedy this you need to add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file which looks
something like this:
Country=nnn,,d:\path\COUNTRY.SYS
'nnn' is the country code (see the table below).
'd' is the drive which contains the file COUNTRY.SYS.
'path' is the path of the COUNTRY.SYS file.

Since I live in England I use the United Kingdom code, which is 044.
The COUNTRY.SYS file on my machine is on drive C, in the DRDOS directory, so
I need the following line in my CONFIG.SYS file.
Country=044,,C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS
