Sometimes, but not always? Have you tried, as a less drastic solution than backing
out of the FP, putting NI on the malfunctioning keys, i.e. "nn=NI..." so that it
doesn't leak through to DOS? I would not be so sure that it's IBMKBD.SYS that's
offending here -- I do believe that XyWrite's keyboard controller has pretty full
authority. But what does your "DEVINFO=KBD..." spec say? What are the dates on
IBMKBD.SYS and KEYBOARD.DCP?
