I have two questions about using Microsoft Windows 3.0 for which I
do not find answers in the Frequently Asked Questions list.
1) Keyboard remapping
Some of the keys on my PC keyboard are in awkward places.
Within the normal MS-DOS 4.01 environment, I use a TSR to "swap" keys
(e.g. my ESC key acts like the grave accent (`) key and vice-versa).
These keyboard "swaps" are in effect for all of my regular DOS
applications, but Windows 3.0 effectively ignores DOS TSRs like this
one.
Is there any way to "swap" keys on the PC keyboard in an equivalent
way under Windows 3.0 (not within a single application, but for the
entire environment)?
2) Maximizing application windows automatically
The Windows 3.0 HELP application remembers from one invocation to
the next whether or not it is maximized (full-screen, with frame).
It does this by keeping a variable in the [Help] section of WIN.INI.
I have other applications that I run under Windows 3.0 that I always
maximize (manually), but which do not bother to remember this fact.
Is there any way to automatically maximize the window of an arbitrary
application upon invocation?
If you can answer either of these questions, please send mail. I will
post a summary of the answers.
