I have a terrible time using the AT style keyboard with the cap lock key next to the 'A' and the control key at the lower left. I've heard there is a public domain program available somewhere to swap the control and cap lock keys, but haven't been able to find it. If anyone knows where to find it, please reply by e-mail and I'll post to the net. Thanks in advance. -- John Underwood at&t : 1-503-684-1600 Arnav Systems, Inc uucp : ..!tektronix!reed!arnav!jru 16100 SW 72nd Ave, P.O. Box 23939; Portland, OR 97223

These requests come up regularly (why can't IBM design a good keyboard), so here is my monthly :-) posting of kbdr.com, a tiny tsr that makes the caps lock act as an additional control key. The combination rightshift-capslock gives the capslock function. Note that this program is for AT class machines or later (PS/2) only. Hopefully these requests will dwindle to zero as people buy clone keyboards with a switch on the back to exchange the keys, or buy the Northgate Omnikey/102 keyboard (which I heartily recommend!).

Any ideas on how I can get my control key moved back to the right :-) location. Any help would be appreciated, I can't figure why all the new AT keyboards put the control key in such an annoying place to begin with! Thank you Ted Goldstein du4@mace.cc.purdue.edu

There is a utility program called switch.com that comes with WordStar. Works just fine. If you're running with the MKS Toolkit, rename it to something like swapkey.com. --rkl
