Try increasing AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE in sun.h We have set AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE to 300 and AUTOREPEAT_DELAY to 20 and it seems fine. Though we still have people who are complain that autorepeat is not fast enough. I eventually had to add the two values as parameters to the command line. -- Rob Posadas -- Daisy Systems Corp 700 E.
