- SPRINTER: Speeds-up cursor and PgUp and PgDn movement when a
- user-selected accelerator key is pressed simultaneously.
-
- Format: SPRINTER [/K xx] [/S n] [/U] [/D] [/E] [/?]
-
- Remarks: SPRINTER is a small (1K) TSR that can be installed by
- running it from the DOS prompt or by including it as a line in an
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The utility defaults to using either Alt key as
- the accelerator key. By using the optional /K nn switch, either at the
- time of installation or subsequently, the default accelerator key can
- be changed with different values of nn, thus:
-
- /K S Either Shift key
- /K LS Left Shift key
- /K RS Right Shift key
- /K A Either Alt key
- /K LA Left Alt key
- /K RA Right Alt key
- /K C Either Control key
- /K LC Left Control key
- /K RC Right Control key
-
- The amount by which SPRINTER accelerates cursor and paging speed
- can be set by using the /S x switch, using x values from 1 through 9.
- The default value is 2.
-
- Because SPRINTER is not compatible with programs that take over
- the BIOS interrupt (Int 9), it will have no effect on Windows
- applications. Certain DOS applications also steal that interrupt.
- To prevent any possible problems when changing applications while
- SPRINTER remains loaded, the /D (Disable) and /E (Enable) switches can
- be invoked at any time.
-
- Subject to the usual TSR limitations (last in, first out), SPRINTER
- can be uninstalled with the /U switch. Entering SPRINTER /? brings up a
- help screen.
