Hi, all. I'm trying to change over to the Dvorak system. It works fine
in all windows apps but not at the command prompt. Is there some way to
make it work when I shell out to Dos also?

Thanks,
Ed

Thanks, Bob. In the meantime I have figured out how to do it: i.e run
keyb dv,,dvorak.sys It might work with other .sys drivers that have
this keyboard mapping. As to Linux, I have tried to use it before but I
found that I couldn't give up my legacy software. Now I have Cygwin
installed so that I can have at least the shell utilities on hand.
