[net.micro.pc] Keytronics Keyboards

I have heard of there being some difficulty with certain pieces of
software using the keytronics keyboard with a seperate numeric keypad,
in thios case attached to a Columbia (IBM-PC compatible) PC.  Since the
real PC keyboard does not have this feature and does not know about the
seperate keypad, this keypad must simulate the actual PC keyboard, and
hence simulates the entry of three keystrokes, namely shift, the key on
the regular keypad, and then an unshift.  Apparently it does this at a
speed that is too fast for some software to handle.
