Could someone send me a unit which I could use to trap certain key strokes. I have tried removine procedures from several tsr programs and tried them in my programs, but without much luck. I had one once which did exactly what I needed except it caused strange side effects, like causing read/write errors on A:. I have no idea why this happened even after restoring the BIOS interrupt but my timer interrupt routine didn't cause this problem. I would like to be able to : install my handler call the BIOS handler if not a key I'm looking for re-install the BIOS and my handler at will I know that I could probably one of the tsr units I've collected but I don't need it to remain resideent. Alsoo, does anyone know how to tell when the numeric keypad is in arrows mode? Although this may sound simple, there are many posibilities. For example all shifts off and num lock off = cursor key left and/or right shift on + num lock off = num kkeys '' '' '' + num lock on = cursor keys Thanx _______________________________________________________________________ _ rocker@eve.wright.edu | Al Bundy for President _ Wright State U.
