Your "PM calls" is a bit out of context.  You have to use
DosDevIOCtl to perform this feat.  Here's a bit of code (ala Borland style)
that will, hopefully, help you:

/* ------ >8 ------ */

#define INCL_NOPMAPI
#define INCL_DOSDEVICES
#define INCL_DOSDEVIOCTL

#include 
#include 

UCHAR main(VOID)
{
    RATEDELAY RateDelay;
    APIRET rc;
    HFILE hKeyboard;
    ULONG ulAction;

    RateDelay.usDelay = 500;  // 500 millisecond delay
    RateDelay.usRate = 10;   // 10 CPS repeat rate

//  According to the docs, if usRate is greater than the maximum rate, the
//  maximum rate is then used.

    rc = DosOpen("KBD$", &hKeyboard, &ulAction, 0L,
                 FILE_NORMAL,
                 OPEN_ACTION_CREATE_IF_NEW | OPEN_ACTION_OPEN_IF_EXISTS,
                 OPEN_ACCESS_WRITEONLY | OPEN_SHARE_DENYREADWRITE,
                 0L);
    if (rc)
    {
        printf("SYS%04X: DosOpen\n", rc);
        return(1); 
    }

    rc = DosDevIOCtl(hKeyboard, IOCTL_KEYBOARD, KBD_SETTYPAMATICRATE,
                     &RateDelay, sizeof(RateDelay), NULL, NULL, 0L,
                     NULL);
    if (rc)
    {
        printf("SYS%04X: DosDevIOCtl\n", rc);
        return(1);
    }

    DosClose(hKeyboard);

    return(0);
}
