SUMMARY

Amdek has a keyboard driver called CLREPC.EXE to help with keyboard incompatibilities with QuickBasic. To obtain this file, you can call an Amdek regional office at (312) 364-1180. This program is not guaranteed by Microsoft to work properly and is only mentioned for your information.

MORE INFORMATION

It is best to create a batch file that loads the CLREPC.EXE driver and then invokes QuickBasic. The following is a sample batch file: 
   clrepc
   C:\<PATH NAME>\QB
   set epc
This loads the driver, runs QuickBasic, and then resets the keyboard after you exit QuickBasic.

This keyboard correction does not let you highlight text with the extended-keyboard cursor keys; instead, you must use the numeric keypad with the SHIFT key.
