This is expected if PC is allowed to install it's keyboard handler.

I checked the SCOUG article and the updated version I maintain at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/os2tips/ProcessCommander.html

and both appear to match. Did you you use:

PCINSDLL /INSTALL_HOOK /INSTALL_PMSHELL /INSTALL_FS

or

PCINSDLL /INSTALL_PMSHELL /INSTALL_FS

Did you run the procedure before attempting to reboot after the install?

Ignore this. I need to update the article to note this will occur.

Not quite. Mr. KIA's instructions assume you are updating an existing PC
install. They do not explicitly cover how to handle a fresh install.
That said, I can't see why they should not work.

>there were no install options related to the keyboard driver. I'm

It's been a while. I thought there was an option to turn it off.

You should be fine. If you get to urge in do a fresh install of PC on
another system, let me know so that we can work out the proper procedure
to use for a fresh install. I suspect that if you had run the documented
procedure before rebooting, it would have worked and you would not have
trapped.
