	You might want to give WAITASEC, which is one of the PC Magazine
collection of utilities, a try. There is no charge for this program to
the individual user.
	I had been looking for a PD or Free package to do screen scroll
recall and had totally overlooked this PCMAG utility. I think I tried
it once before and had concluded that it did not work on my Extended
101 keyboard. A tip: When the documentation talks about using the 
cursor keys, USE THE CURSOR KEYS ON THE NUMERIC KEYPAD. Evidently, the
keyscan codes are different for the Extended Keyboard's cluster of Cursor 
keys not on the numeric keypad. Also, use the numeric keypad's Page keys --
not the Extended Page keys. It would be nice to modify this utility to
play more smoothly with the Extended keyboard. 
	Does someone know where I can get the source for this PCMAG WAITASEC
screen scroll recall program?
	Peace...
