I am interested in keys2.bat file. I uudecoded it from your article.
But I do not understand how to use it.
I have some questions about it.

1. How to set b:\config.sys file before keys2.bat running.
a. Where can I get ansi.sys?
b. Is it necessary to attach the setting of text mode driver?
I have two drivers file. I want to know your configration.
2. I think the keys2.bat is able to input ":" and ";" characters
from keyboard.
But I found keys2.bat has only two "echo" command sentences.
I tried to run, then it displayed two ESC sentences.
What is happen when it works?
