Flanner III) Organization: Philips Research Labs, Sunnyvale, California Lines: 14 My cousin has a physical disability (cerebral palsy) that makes it difficult for her to type. She is writing a book, currently using a typewriter, but she would like to use a computer. She says that a computer with a keyboard that doesn't have auto-repeat keys would be good enough, and she has been looking into getting an Apple II for that reason. My question is: Is there a way to change the operation of a IBM PC (XT, clone etc..) in software to not auto-repeat? It would have to be a TSR I think. Alternatively, does anyone know of any software to make the PC easier to use for physically disabled people. --- Phil Flanner II --> ...{pyramid,philabs}!prls!flanner
