Hi! Hopefully someone out there can help with this. I have a Gateway 386 system with (I believe) the Phoenix BIOS. The problem is that nothing seems to recognize the right Alt key, which is really a pain when trying to use anything like emacs. The key appears to be spitting out the correct codes when depressed, so this sounds like a BIOS problem to me. What's the best way to solve this? Should I write a TSR that intercepts the keyboard interrupt and fiddles with the keyboard status flags appropriately? Oh, I would also be interested in swapping some other keys, namely the Caps Lock and the left Control key. Thanks much!
