Re: overcoming the XP lag [II]

Whatever those two have in common, they don't have it in
common in all variants of the OS. I'm running XP Home / SP1. The KS
command from the cmd line works, but not the numlock key.


And here's another bit of strange keyboard behavior that someone may find
it helpful to know at some point. My keyboard sometimes starts responding
with weird characters in XyWrite (but in none of my other applications).
It's not the keyboard that's the problem. But if I hit Alt-tab to switch
to another application, then Alt-tab again to swtich back to XyWrite, the
problem disappears (at least till the next time it crops up
again).

I would very much suppose that df=ks,0,0 is the same as commenting the
thing out altogether. Whatever. It works.


I'm not sure. I'm reading RH's post carefully, plan to experiment this
evening, then answer him, but here's the question that's intriguing: why
do we get the same effect -- eliminating the last the lag in XP Pro/SP2
-- when we EITHER simply hit the numlock key [Martin Osborne's jerry-rig]
or issue the KS command from the cmd line? What do those two actions have
in common?
