I am looking for a DOS utility program (probably TRS) that makes the <Alt>, <Shift>, and/or <Ctrl> keys "sticky" --- that is, pressing the key once activates and locks the key (as if you are holding the key down) and pressing the key again deactivates it. The motivation for finding this program is to help a quadriplegic, who can only press one key at a time, do <Alt><F2> commands and the like. He and I would appreciate any help in this matter. My Internet address is dfarley@wpi.wpi.edu and my BITNET address is dfarley@wpi.bitnet.

I think Borland's SuperKey has a similar function. You might also check other keyboard macro/redefinition packages, such as QuickKey. -- George Snyder From usenet: uunet!inmet!gjs -- Intermetrics, Inc. From DDN: gjs@inmet.inmet.com

We use a public domain product called STICKEY available from C-CAD Suite 100 2501 Avenue J Arlington TX 76006 (817)640-6613 I'm sure other similar products abound. As a footnote, for further discussion about access issues in computing, check out the "misc.handicap" newsgroup and the "comp.cog-eng" newsgroup. Such discussion is certainly appropriate, but some of discussions in those groups may also be helpful. -- Curtis W.

I have mailed you a copy - let me know if you dont get it. It is also available on many BBS's as VOL7N8. I'm sure it is on PC Mag-net.
