Hi Paul, this should work for you: xset r rate 500 30 The summary of the command at the top of the man page shows (and I've edited out all the non-relevant options): xset [r rate _delay_ [_rate_]] All the non-underlined parameters must actually be typed in as shown. The underlined arguments take on variable values. The square brackets indicate that something is optional, so you can specify the delay and _not_ the rate, but you must specify at least the delay.
