Subject: OT: Redirecting Keyboard Interrupt

Author: Steve Schooler

Couldn't find specific newsgroup to query.  Request insights or newsgroup
reference(s):

Old dos game intercepts specific key press to trigger action (i.e. 'p'
triggers POW - explosive).  Keyboard configuration inconvenient; wish to
trigger POW via 'a'.  Tried device = ansi.sys + appropriate escape keys.
Separately tried shareware TSR (e.g. xkeyb.exe).

These failures imply that the old dos game is intercepting keyboard
interrupt before it's written to stdout (et al).  Therefore, TSR that
converts key press 'a' to stdout 'p' is ineffective.  Consequently, need
TSR to intercept 'a' keyboard interrupt (et al) and convert it to 'p'
keyboard interrupt.

Software only solution required... no keyboard rewiring allowed.  If
expert indicates attempt futile, this will save me time.
