If you are using FD-KEYB, I'd put KEYB before DISPLAY (contrary to what I wrote in my previous mail). If you are using MKEYB, then the order does not make a difference, because as far as I know, MKEYB will not cooperate with DISPLAY to maintain codepage coherence as FD-KEYB does. This will work for you if you do not mangle with codepages after boot, and the reason why MKEYB has an easier syntax (and let's be honest, Microsoft did not quite make up an easy syntax for DISPLAY/KEYB). If you do care about codepages, and issue hot codepage changes (MODE CON CP SEL or CHCP), then FD-KEYB should be preferred, in order to maintain codepage coherence. > > > The KEYB layouts can be found here: > > > > http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=kpdos > > That's the point where the circle starts (and ends).

Previously, KC had its own separate folder, and it was much easier to find than where it is now. AItor
