I am assuming that you don't have 1-2-3 on a hard disk. Because if you do I am assuming that you have the master diskette in drive A:. You could always use debug to bypass the protection scheme, so that you can use it on a hard disk, without the master diskette (a copyright question that really hasn't been answered by the Supreme Court). But, to answer your question, the only way to do it is to use debug to go into the 123.EXE code and jump around the keyboard call. It is an annoying 'feature' that needs to be skipped. Maybe I'll look into it. -- Mr. Video {seismo!uwvax!|!decvax|!ihnp4}!nicmad!brown
