??? What is NOT working ???? 

I've again compiled a small test sample (pasted from MicroSoft QH for OS/2
1.3) and compiled with VACPP. started in a Windowed session 

rc=0
rc=0
rc=0
rc=0

  > Ctrl-P

rc=16

so, WHAT is not working ? Have you really tested my code. i can't believe it.

#define INCL_KBD
#include 
#include 
#include 

main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
 APIRET rc=0;
 HKBD hkbd=0;
// rc=KbdOpen(&hkbd);   // whatever you want....
 printf("rc=%d\n",rc);
 rc=KbdGetFocus(IO_WAIT, hkbd);
 printf("rc=%d\n",rc);

 KBDINFO kbstInfo;
 kbstInfo.cb = sizeof(kbstInfo);
 rc=KbdGetStatus(&kbstInfo, 0);        /* gets current status  */
 printf("rc=%d\n",rc);
 kbstInfo.fsMask =
     (kbstInfo.fsMask & 0x00F7)     /* masks out ASCII mode */
     | 0x0004;                      /* OR into binary mode  */
 rc=KbdSetStatus(&kbstInfo, 0);        /* sets new status      */
 printf("rc=%d\n",rc);

 rc=getch();
 printf("rc=%d\n",rc);

 return 0;
}

 WARPED!, Mario
