Right, and I just checked - the kernel only uses the old
keyboard INT16 interface. If some people have problems with extended
keys, can you check if it disappears using
device=nansi.sys
(or device=c:\fdos\bin\nansi.sys , wherever it is) in config.sys?

See, nansi.sys not only gives ANSI capabilities but also replaces the CON
driver (keyboard+video).

But this won't solve the EDIT problems -- EDIT doesn't use the int21
functions to read the keyboard.
