Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Remapping extended keys
 
If you have a keyboard with 101 keys, you may want to use the /X switch to
remap certain extended keys. For example, there are two HOME keys on
keyboards with 101 keys: One on the numeric keypad and the other in the
block of cursor-control keys. Unless you specify the /X switch, the two HOME
keys are the same to MS-DOS.
 
Ignoring extended keys
 
If you have a program that does not correctly interpret input from an
enhanced keyboard, use the /K switch with ANSI.SYS. Your enhanced keyboard
will then use conventional keyboard functions.
 
Using both the /X switch and the /K switch
 
You cannot specify ANSI.SYS with both the /X switch and the /K switch.
