Wengier,
KEYMODE=1 is basically the XyWrite compatibility mode as used by
vDosXy. [...] if you set KEYMODE=2 in vDos-lfn (note that this mode
is not supported by vDosXy), then keys such as CAPSLOCK and NUMLOCK
will work properly in [programs such as MS-DOS 7 EDIT and QBASIC].
Ah, okay, this confirms my experience. If I set KEYMODE=2 (which, if I
recall correctly, is the vDos-lfn default), then my Xy4 keyboard file
is crippled; I need KEYMODE=1. For purposes of a generic "vDos-lfn for
XyWrite" installation, then, KEYMODE=1 should be the preferred
setting, correct?
