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.
