I would just like to tell everyone interested that I have uploaded a utility called TypeMate to cica.cica.indiana.edu. You willl find it in the directory called /pub/pc/win3/util. It's used to set the delay before the keys starts to repeat automatically. As some of you sure have noticed this is not possible to do from the Control Panel in Windows and since I have always used the shortest possible delay in DOS for years I simply had to do something. TypeMate is the result! BTW, TypeMate is probably one of the most inexpensive shareware programs available. It only costs you a postcard to Sweden :-) joachim@lysator.liu.se

Set the type rate using your favorite utility for such a purpose from the DOS command line before entering Windows. Then, delete the line in the WIN.INI [Windows] section that says KeyboardSpeed=xx. Windows will now use the setting that existed when you entered Windows, and *all* DOS applications that you run out of Windows will use these same settings. -- Jeff Rife P.O.
