Re: Keyboard Typematic rate

Hi Jerry,

Great! I intend to try getting/setting the Typematic rate also later
tonight. Although I SEEM to be handling it OK now.

I think I posted some Gcode "grouping" info in response to someone's
questions a little while ago on this list, or CCED. Might help,
although if you're reading NIST, you should have the info. It did take
me a few tries to get the groups right, 'tho.

Yes, we are all learning quite rapidly on SEVERAL topics, Machining,
CNC, programming, part programming, electronics, mechanics,... and the
list goes on! One of the things I enjoy about this hobby! Saw the same
thing in ROBOTICS!

And as to old DOS; well, I still use them at work for our embedded
product. And the website that was just posted, "Geezer"! Yeah, I guess
that says it!
