I agree...I've just bought a Northgate Omnikey-Plus (~112 keys, I believe...
I haven't sat down and counted them), and it's they best keyboard I've seen
(subsequent discussion of keyboard merits is directed to comp.sys.ibm.pc, alt.
swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork -- this group is for programming).

Now comes my plea--is there anyone out there who can explain a little better
than Northgate as to how I can use the extra keys as TSR hotkeys etc???
My experiments so far have been non-productive...as I've only written a few
simple (non-DOS-reentrant) TSR's, I'm not making much headway, and I've seen
no docs on handling the extra keys besides Northgate's somewhat badly written
ones.

Please email to me and I will summarize to the net if it seems warranted.
Thanx in advance,
