Most modern computers seem to support INT 16.03 to set the Typematic rate.
I've personally never had it fail with real hardware, but in some Virtual
Machines (VMs) it doesn't actually do anything.
I've had lots of failures with support of INT 16.09 to get the current
typematic rate, both in
Hi! Here is the related RBIL part for you:
B-1603---
INT 16 - KEYBOARD - SET TYPEMATIC RATE AND DELAY
AH = 03h
AL = subfunction
00h set default delay and rate (PCjr and some PS/2)
01h increase delay before repeat
Eric proposed:
"For this, you start DEBUG, then type:
a cs:100
mov ax,0305
mov bx,
int 16
int 20
g
q
"
As Ah=3 int 16h is marked as PCJr only:
INT 16 - KEYBOARD - SET DELAYS (PCjr ONLY)
REG AH = 3
AL = 0: RESET TYPEMATIC
AL = 1: INCREASE INITIAL DELAY
AL = 2: INCREASE CONTINUING DELAY

Tom,
In DOS I was able to press and hold a key and the key would repeat.
Great for arrow and page keys. For some reason this stopped workin
wow. one of these Asshole from Hell questions:
no information what DOS we are talkink about.
no information whatsoever about CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT.

In DOS I was able to press and hold a key and the key would repeat. Great
for arrow and page keys. For some reason this stopped workin and I can
only press a key once and holdin a key would do nothin.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

First of all, thank you for reporting this!

One interesting feature is that it can swap most of itself out,

There is a good program avaiable for download from a German site. It's a
TSR that traps
runtime 200 errors and puts your computer back on track. Go to Google and
search runtime 200 errors.
The name begins with TP. When software is written with Turbo Pascal, a
timing delay command
uses do loops

Hi,
Since I'm having almost no spare time these days, I'll have to
do the various suggested tests little by little.
Tom:
please try running ONLY HIMEM and MKEYB (or the other keyboard
driver), and see if the problem vanishes.
I did a test *without* loading HIMEM, JEMM, KEYB/MKEYB,

Hi,
you might have stated your keyboard driver first ...
but as you later state that the problem occurs with MKEYB as well,
here's my educated guess what happens:
the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT keys in the cursor block are similar to the
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT in the numeric key pad as they send
Hi Tom,
something in your machines blocks interrupts for too long, and
keys get lost - most likely some TSR or driver, ...
In addition to reducing processor speed with FDAPM, I was using
Japheth's HDPMI16.EXE, as well as DPAKBD.COM to provide processor

As an extension to what Tom stated, it is most likely a timing issue, though I
don't necessarily think it's the 'E0' scancode getting lost. The cursor
movement number pad keys do some weird things in the background that you
don't normally see.
E.g., even when NumLock is on, and you hold down

Hi,
A couple of years ago I noticed that, in some computers, when
the Up, Down, Left or Right keys were held pressed for several
seconds, sometimes they acted as numeric keypad keys, i.e.,
instead of just moving the cursor in these directions, they
actually *wrote* the characters 8, 2, 4 or 6
Your problem with Bordland. There might be a fix for it. A web
downloadable TRS
can catch the error when it happens and correct it. It occurs when
software was written with PASCAL.
Do a Google search for it It was written by a German.
