Is there any method to install a keyboard interrupt handler while running inside of Windows 3.0? Primarily I would like to be able to have my Alt and Cntl keys remapped, etc, but Windows installs its own interrupt handler when you enter it that appears to be nonconfigurable (other than key repeat rate). It uninstalls this when running DOS applications, which is fine, but how does one remap keys inside of Windows? (running a TSR before windows, or from within windows won't work, as windows loads and unloads its handler when invoking and closing other programs. Do the various Windows development kits have libraries for accessing and modifing such details from within a Windows program? Secondarily I would like to remap the ^h key to send 'backspace' since Windows (and other programs like Quattro Pro) treat ^h differently, and print the PC character glyph for ascii 8, instead of handling it as ^h. Thanks much for any help, --- glenn
