 if you use some of the more common machines, the folks at the Trace
Research Center at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) have a
generic sticky-keys package available.  (Unfortunately common system's
seems to mean MS-loss, Windoze, and McSoftware, tho eunix versions
might exist) they have the name AccessSystemname, and are intended for
use by the handicapped.  (They also provide keyed operation of the
mouse, and modes to cope with people that bounce the keys, or tend to
hit adjacent keys.  Other parts provide visual beeps, audible
indications of things like caps-lock, and substitution of input from a
typing aid (eye activated, breath activated, etc.) connected to a
serial port.)  They are provided by the software vendors at no charge,
in compliance with handicapped access provisions of federal
procurement contracts. The Windoze version is in the typing injury
directorys on soda.berkeley.edu, the DOS version will follow shortly.

 I urge everyone to look at the FAQ for the sci.med.occupational
newsgroup.  Occupational Overuse injuries were 60% of all new
workplace injuries in the U.S. in 1991 (220,000 new cases), and they
have been more common than lower back injuries for several years.

This article is an example of using emacs with a voice recognition
system.  My hands started to hurt in the summer of 1991, I haven't
been allowed to type since February of 1992, and have purchased the
DragonDictate system to allow me to continue working.
