A workaround is to slow down the keyboard as much as you can, so that the make/breakcodes are not emitted that fast. Reducing keyboard typematic rate often helps (of course, this is a bad fix...). Not using extended keys also helps, that is using old Wordstar-hotkeys for cursor movements, not using the keys from the right half of the keyboard (cursor, numpad, the block with Ins/Del/...). If you don't use a keyboard driver, loading one could also help. But in this cause Novell's/Caldera's KEYB won't fix the problem, since it partially uses the BIOS driver for hardware programming (which is quite good in most other scenarios, since it saves memory). Try e.g. K3PLUS (on request, I could send you a stable multinational alpha version, that supports most keyboard layouts of our small planet, except those from Far East - we just don't have any info on these). Hope, this could help... Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthias Paul ! My eMail address has changed. For some time ! Ubierstrasse 28 ! mails to former !
