in some newer computers the bios has a setting somewhere if memory is correct to set the speed of the keyboard typimatic rate. but I could be wrong.

I've seen this too. But her "new" 486 was built sometime in 1996 (7?). She did find that on the Dos side of the system the keyboard rate was fine. So I have to believe that it's something to do with Linux. Thanks JIM

Hi all...
My wife's 386 just bit the dust. So I put her on one of my 486s dual-booting Dos & SuSE 7.2. Now the question is how do I slow down the keyboard under linux? My wife has problems with her fingers and can not type very fast. Today the first time we were on Linux together (I was teaching her) every time she touched a button it gave 3 or 4 letters. She really wants to learn Linux, but I have got to slow it down. BTW I need the command line program. She does not use X (or M$ either) windows.
Just a thought... She uses WP 4.2 under Dos (has used it since 1987). Is there a command line word processer for Linux that uses WP commands. All I've seen are ones based on Word Star. ( It would be great if someone would port WP 4.2 to Linux.)
Thanks
JIM
