This is probably a useless question, but there is a mysterious key on my 
XT-keyboard called the 'Sys Req' key. I've seen this key on many other 
IBM and compatible keyboards and I am just curious if anyone knows what it 
is for and how to access it? I can't seem to find anything in my DOS 3.3 
manual about it. Anyone know what this key is for? Just curious...
