Yes. This should work. It's a really good program.

HOWEVER--a caveat: I've used it for a good while on various sytems, but
when I got a 386 at home this year and used it here, I found that there
is (at least) one program which just goes bonkers when buf160_6 is
installed. That is JLBLINK, a "front end" for BIX. So far I haven't
seen any other programs that object to it, but you might. (The author
of JLBLINK tells me that that behavior is normal for JLBLINK when used
with keyboard-buffer-extenders, so he's obviously got a "feature" in
there somewhere.)

There may be others, though, so if you encounter strange keyboard
behavior in some program, before you curse out the computer, try
de-installing buf_160.
