Does anybody have a driver for the Apple Extended Keyboard? My GS keyboard
recently went out, and I purchased a new AEK. The major problem I am having,
is trying to get the Function keys working properly. Any help on this would be
VERY MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance...

My GS keyboard No driver is needed, I use a Cutting Edge extended keyboard with no problems. The help key mapping is not built into the system. You can use the Beagle desk accessory KeyMac to define those keys, or the one from Roger Wagner Publishing.

Thanks in advance... | | Brian Hicks A question along those lines...... Does anyone know if there has ever been an external keyboard for the //e (IBM style)? I prefer the IBM's keyboard over apple's. I would like to build some type of converter for one....but I don't have enough technical background to build such a creature. I know a few years back that they made a external keyboard out of the ADAM computer's (well let's just call it a toy) keyboard. Can anyone shed some light on this one????

I don't know about KeyMac, but MacroMate (from RWP) requires an additional modifier key (either Command or Option) in order to activate the macros - this means that one can't activate a macro with a function key alone. It is possible to get around this, but I don't have the time to write the program to do it at the moment. Speaking of which... Is there a pseudo-keycode to make the ADB microcontroller set the repeat bit? It would be nice to be able to send the uController some keycode (like the ones for the modifier keystrokes, such as Shift, Option, etc.), and have it set the repeat bit in $C025. Of course, if it doesn't already exist, then it doesn't matter. -- Jason Blochowiak - jason@madnix.UUCP "Education, like neurosis, begins at home." - Milton R. Saperstein

You can save macros as sets for different programs. It will let you put arrow keys, delete keys etc. into the macro. I like to use this for setting up in a programming language, for instance: printf("|\n"); with the vertical bar being the cursor, after creating the word I can use the back arrow key in the macro definition to move the cursor back to the correct spot to begin typing. I heard that a guy in Israel even uses it to type right to left in Hebrew. Rick Fincher rnf@shumv1.ncsu.edu
