Next message: Geoff Cross: "[WinMac] Windows folders on ASIP Server"
I'm pretty sure you'll need to use a DOS keyboard shortcut program, not a
Windows one. One used to load these by first loading DOS, then running the
command that installed the shortcut program (a "terminate and stay resident"
program that loaded itself and then returned you to the DOS prompt) and
finally loading the app one wanted to use.
It's nearly ten years since I used one of these things, and I can't remember
any names. I'd start by looking in DOS repositories (e.g. Simtel.net) with
keywords like "keyboard" "shortcut" "TSR". If you find something that is
compatible with DOS 5.x there's a good chance that it will work with Windows
95 DOS mode even if not in a DOS window. It may also be compatible with your
application.
Good luck!
