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.
