I'm over my own head as well, but that hasn't stopped me before... :-)

I tried using OS2286.LIB with BC++, but it wouldn't link.  BC++ places
the underscores turning them into _DosMon*, etc... and that is screwing
me up there.

It does link under EMX v0.9b fix03, but it isn't intercepting the keys
properly.

I posted the code in the EMX mailing list, and found out, from the author
of the port of XFree86 for OS/2, that DosMon* functions are working in
EMX, so it must be something I'm doing wrong.

argghh... still trying.

Thanks for the help!

Phil
