Well, if they are all for the same address, they will be interesting. If
the they are all for different addresses, that is also interesting.
Clearly, the information you've supplied so far and the venues you've
chosen to post to have been insufficient to resolve the problem. This is
not fault of yours. It just appears that it's not a command problem.

IMO, the way to flag down Scott is to post to the forums he chooses to
monitor and to post in a way that might attract his interest. He's not
paid to support us and does what he does because he's a good guy.

This implies a video driver or video subsystem issue. It still could be a
problem in the VDM subsystem install.

You also need to restore the OS/2 keyboard driver.

This starting to sound like you are not using the correct CAD keyboard
driver. I know the driver needed a change for FP13+, but don't know what
the failure modes are.
