[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Setting Keyboard Repeat Rate

sba8_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Scott Barnes) (02/03/89)

     I recently upgraded to Procomm Plus 1.1 from Procomm 2.4.2.  For some
reason, Procomm Plus sets the keyboard repeat rate on my PS/2 Mod 30 to some
ridiculously high value.  It's bad enough to deal with it while communicating,
but Procomm doesn't reset the setting upon exit, thus extending the annoying
effect to all my other programs.

     There doesn't seem to be any legitimate DOS or BIOS call to set the 
repeat rate, so I am curious how this value is manipulated (memory location,
port, etc.).  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

     Please E-mail replies; I will summarize to the net if necessary.
