Is there some way I can slow down the keyboard interrupt, >or otherwise get around this problem? I'm on an IBM AT running dos 3.3. You might try the latest version of Cruise control. It handles repeats very nicely: when you hold down a key and up the application can't keep up with it, cruise control automatically slows down the repeat rate, and the instant you release that repeating key, it flushes the buffer (this feature is called anti-skid braking, and is great for any application which is too slow to keep up with the repeat rate). -dalegass@dalcsug.uucp {watmath|uunet|utai}|dalcs|dalcsug|dalegass
