 switches(CMD)                   19 June 1992                   switches(CMD)


 Name

    switches - force an enhanced keyboard to behave like a conventional
    keyboard

 Syntax


    switches=/k


 Description

    You use this command in your CONFIG.SYS file.

 Notes


    When to use the switches command

    If you have a program that does not correctly interpret input from an
    enhanced keyboard, add this command to your CONFIG.SYS file so your
    enhanced keyboard will use conventional keyboard functions.

    Using the /k switch with ANSI.SYS

    If you use the switches=/k command and you install the ANSI.SYS device
    driver, use the /k switch on the device command line for ANSI.SYS.

 Example

    If you want MS-DOS to use conventional keyboard functions even though you
    are using an enhanced keyboard, add the following command to your
    CONFIG.SYS file:

       switches=/k
