I need to redefine the carriage return key on my IBM PCXT. The standard hex values generated when the carriage return is hit is 0D 0A. That is a carriage return and a line feed. What I need is 0D 0D 0A. This may sound a bit strange, but it really is necessary :-). PC-DOS ver 2.00 allows binary level redefinition, but I can't figure out how to get the silly thing to do it! I am driving a Decitek tape punch that performs ascii to baudot conversions. The tapes will be feed into a system that requires each line to be terminated with ascii 0D 0D 0A. I have looked at several programs that allow redefining the keyboard, but they all allow only key substitution or macro generation. None of which will allow me insert a 0D in the sequence generated by the carriage return key. HELP! I am not a programmer (yet!) so please be specific in any help you can give me. Thanks in advance. --Lynn
