- As Richard Betts notes, NB must be included in your PATH under OS/2
- just as under DOS. His advice is a bit confusing at one point,
- however. The PATH in CONFIG.SYS is *not* the place to put it. You
- must put this in the PATH in AUTOEXEC.BAT. The latter is the path
- used by all DOS VDM sessions. The former is used only under native
- OS/2.

- Look in the System Setup folder inside your OS/2 System folder. If you
- click on the Keyboard icon there are utilities for adjusting typematic
- rate and delay. To keep a program from changing the rate you set in
- the Keyboard folder change the KBD_RATE_LOCK setting for that program
- to "on".
