- Build a Keyboard Enhancement Kit. Customize your
- keyboard and fine-tune your typing with these easy-
- to-create utility programs.
-
- Utility Programs: CLICK.COM
- NUMLOCK.COM
- CAPSLOCK.COM
- SCRLOCK.COM
- KEYSPEED.COM
-
-
- You can run any program at any time from the DOS prompt,
- but it's most convenient to run them from AUTOEXEC.BAT or
- from a batch file you use to launch an application.
-
- KEYSPEED.COM requires two parameters: one to specify the
- repeat rate and another for the delay rate. The syntax for
- KEYSPEED.COM is:
-
- KEYSPEED R=r D=d
-
- where "r" is a number from 0 to 31, specifying the repeat
- rate, and "d" is a number from 0 to 3, specifying the delay
- rate. Zero is the fastest repeat rate, corresponding to
- roughly 30 characters a second, and 31 is the slowest,
- equal to about 2 characters a second.
-
- Values for "d" result in the following wait times:
-
- d Wait time
- --- -----------
- 0 1/4 second
- 1 1/2 second
- 2 3/4 second
- 3 1 second
-
- CLICK.COM is a memory-resident program that temporarily
- modifies your PCs BIOS, intercepting keyboard calls and
- adding a click when a key is pressed.
-
- NUMLOCK.COM, CAPSLOCK.COM, and SCRLOCK.COM each use the
- same two switches. Following any of the commands with a
- plus sign turns that lock key on. A minus sign after the
- command turns the key off.
