Thanks! xset is the answer, but I think I actually found a bug in Cygwin XFree86. "xmodmap -pk |grep F8" gives me the keycode for F8, which is 74 in Cygwin. "xset -r 74" should turn off repeat for F8. "xset r off" should turn off repeat on all keys. However, it does not do anything with either variation of the command. If I use Exceed, the keycode changes to 73, but when I do "xset -r 73" or "xset f off" things do work as they should and key repeats are turned off properly. Can anyone else verify this? I'm pretty sure I have XFree86 version 4.1.0 installed. Is there a way to tell for sure? Thanks again, Mark On Wed, 5 Sep 2001 10:07:47 -0400, Ronald W.
