- I'd prefer SHORTCUT.SYS. KEYBOARD.SYS could be confusing for MS-DOS users.
- Perhaps SHORTCUT.INF (or .CFG) would be even better because it's not a
- driver, but a configuration file.

- I think it's easier to handle one file instead of 3 or 4 ones.

- I think that wouldn't be useful. I think it's better to use RShift+Tab
- if you type with 10 fingers.

- I've got an improved suggestion: You could also implement a 3rd parameter
- for changing the text if it is a menu entry. This would allow easier
- trans-
- lation of programs without editing the RSC file.

- Yes, these routines really provide all the functions you need for GEM
