PURPOSE

     Controls the delay and repetition rates of the keyboard.

SYNOPSIS
     keyboard [ -dr[rate] ]


DESCRIPTION

     The keyboard command changes the keyboard delay and repe-
     tition rates.   These rates  are initially set  at system
     startup to 500 milliseconds and 14 characters per second,
     respectively.

FLAGS

     -drate  Sets the delay rate to the specified value.  rate
             can be 300, 400, 500, or 600 milliseconds.
     -rrate  Sets  the rate  of  repetition  to the  specified
             value.  This rate can be an integer from 2 to 40,
             inclusive.

EXAMPLE

     To change both the delay and repetiton rates:

       keyboard  -d300  -r40

     This sets the keyboard to a delay of 300 milliseconds and
     the repetition rate to 40 characters per second.
