Hello! I have a little problem here! (everybody say 'Gosh! what's that...). I have an ordinary IBM compatible at home and I'm using a swedish keyboard layout. There is one key which I want to reassign to another ascii-value, the key is the ',' on the numeric key-pad, the scancode for this key is 83 and the ascii value is 44. i.e. I want assign ascii value 46 to this key. I've tried to use ESC sequences but I can't use scancodes in these sequences. Does anybody have a solution? Is there anybody who know's about some book which handle's keyboards definitions? Ingvaldur Thor Sigurjonsson is mine real name but they always call me Ingi !!! Thungur hnifur ==]---->

The most useful keyboard enhancer I know is a program called NEWKEY. It's available from most shareware sources, and certainly from the author Frank A. Bell FAB Software P.O. Box 336 Wayland, MA 01778 All disclaimers apply. I have been using it for years, and would find it difficult to do without it. It can redefine any and all keys on the keyboard, as well as assign simple or complex macros to any of them. It runs memory resident and will cooperate with any program you load.
