* An ongoing debate between Mark Lewis and Ben Ritchey rages on ...

| ML>>> what i'm after is something like the old ANSI.SYS keyboard
| ML>>> macro stuff such that when i hit ALT-F4 in a dos window, it'll
| ML>>> enter in EXIT and the carriage return...
BR>> Add "Lh C:\DOS\DOSKEY.COM /BUFSIZE=1024" in
autoexec.bat 
| ML> errrmmm... i'm already using 4DOS' KSTACK... neither of which create a
| ML> macro for ALT-F4 that enters "EXIT"...

 oops... I just saw "macro" which is DOSKEY, but
this'll work (just
echo the sequence from autoexec.bat and things get set):


ESC[ code;string;... p
    Set Keyboard Strings: Redefines a keyboard key to a specified string.
    The parameters for this escape sequence are defined as follows:

    Code is one or more of the values listed in the following table.
       These values represent keyboard keys and key combinations. When using
       these values in a command, you must type the semicolons shown in this
       table in addition to the semicolons required by the escape sequence.
       The codes in parentheses are not available on some keyboards.
       ANSI.SYS will not interpret the codes in parentheses for those
       keyboards unless you specify the /X switch in the DEVICE command for
       ANSI.SYS.

    String is either the ASCII code for a single character or a string
       contained in quotation marks. For example, both 65 and "A" can be
       used to represent an uppercase A.
