  1.           QUICKEYS                                   Leo Forrest
  2.           Command

  6.           Purpose:  Accelerates the "typematic" repeat rate of a
  7.                     PC or XT keyboard.  A built-in subprogram is
  8.                     included that instantly clears the keyboard
  9.                     buffer to prevent sending excess accumulated
  10.                     keystrokes to the display.
  11.  
  12.           Format:   QUICKEYS     (loads memory-resident program)
  13.                     <Alt-Shift>         (clears keyboard buffer)
  14.  
  15.           Remarks:  While the keystroke repetition rate of the PC
  16.                     AT is adjustable, that of the XT and the PC
  17.                     is fixed at approximately nine keystrokes per
  18.                     second.  When QUICKEYS is loaded (normally
  19.                     through your AUTOEXEC.BAT file), the
  20.                     repetition speed is approximately doubled.
  21.                     Successive loadings of QUICKEYS (each
  22.                     requires about 672 bytes of memory) can be
  23.                     used to increase the keyboard speed still
  24.                     further, if desired.
  25.  
  26.                     Notes:
  27.  
  28.                     1.   QUICKEYS is a memory-resident program
  29.                          that inserts itself both into the timer
  30.                          tick and keyboard interrupt routines.
  31.                          It is not compatible with some other
  32.                          memory-resident software and with
  33.                          programs that appropriate the keyboard
  34.                          interrupts.
