I am writing a TSR application that works like a keyboard macro package,
detecting certain hot key sequences and pushing a string into the
keyboard buffer.  The foreground application application should then
see the pushed string sequence instead of the original hot key sequence.

The part I need help on is figuring out how to push the substitute sequence 
into ROM BIOS input.  Any references to description of procedures involved
would be appreciated very much.  I am looking for MS-DOS versions >= 2.x
and am willing to write significant amount of assembly code.

Thanks.  Please respond directly to my email address.
