I am a new programmer and was wondering if it is possible to change the state of the Num-Caps-Scroll Lock keys from a program, (id est, turn on/off Num Lock (etc) without physically pressing the key(s) on the keyboard). I can use Turbo Pascal 5.5 (preffered), Turbo C 2.0, MSC 4.2, Quick Basic ?.?, or GW-BASIC. Thanks in advance. ------- Sunny Walker - swalker@uhunix1.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu "Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with *complete* confidence." -- author unknown

And if you are using Turbo Pascal you can find the routines in /pc/ts/tspas22.arc, available by anonymous ftp or mail server from the archives uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland. On the other hand if someone needs a programs that does this, you can find it in /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc. ...................................................................
