[comp.sys.ibm.pc] trapping F11 with INT 15h?

mgardi@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (M.Gardi - ICR) (11/05/88)

Hi,
I'm trying to remap the F11 key on an extended keyboard to
Shift F9.  I've successfully done this with a TSR that trapped 
Int 16h but it won't remap the key in all programs (in particular
a program that is loaded in CONFIG.SYS).   So I tried remapping it
with INT 15h function 4Fh but the problem seems to be that the 
scan code in AL coming into the interrupt handler is only significant
to 7 bits and F11 is 85h (needs the 8th bit).  I think the 8th bit
is used to determine 'make' or 'break' of a key.

Does anyone know if F11 even makes it to INT 15h?  If so, how can I
tell?  I imagine that I could do this by trapping INT 09h but I don't
know how to remap the key (all code I've looked at ignores the key).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please mail me any responses as 1) I can't keep up with this group and
2) it's a bit specific to post.

thanks in advance,
