Re: How does one stop the enter-key from working?

Hi and thanks in advance. I have a form and if the enter-key is
pressed the from terminates and they never get to finish it. Is there
a way to turn off the enter key? thanks.

I used to have trouble with the "Window" key (or whatever it is) so what I
did is pry it off with a screwdriver. Worked like a champ!

The block of keys above the inverted-tee arrow keys varies from keyboard
to keyboard. Sometimes the block

Insert Home PageUp

Delete End PageDn

forms the top two rows of a 3x3 key matrix there, and sometimes it forms
the bottom two rows of such a matrix.

I don't need the other three keys that appear in such a grid, and always
remove them so I don't hit them when I mean to use the vertically
adjacent keys of the above six-key set.

(I replace keyboards every several months, preferring not to bother
cleaning them when new ones are less than 10$US apiece.)

What, afraid that if you hit Pause/Break the PC'll stop working?

Typical attitude from someone who's got a couple fins to spare...

(Still not very environmentally conscionable. Bad Blinky.)

Even if a misplaced keystroke doesn't do anything nasty, it's still a
wasted keystroke because it didn't accomplish what I wanted it to.

At ten or less clams, it doesn't take many fins.

I'm also a source of CO2.

I hate that. For some reason only known to &Diety; I went through three
keyboards in six months, and they all seemed to be different in that area.

And... to make matters worse, the system I used at work did the same thing.

Then the Gods smiled on me and my friend gave me an older keyboard that
felt similar to the old IBM - ahhh, the old IBM keyboards, ahhh....

Old IBM keyboards, or *OLD* IBM keyboards?

In other words - PC or 3270? :-)

LOL. This is too funny. Long story, short version. We moved into this
house in 1998. Since then I have periodically asked my wife: "Are you
sure there isn't a keyboard in your office closet?" Substantive denials
followed for the ensuing years. I last asked about it in March of this
year.

Well. She just retired and started getting "the cleaning bug." So, she
emptied out the closet in her office (finally!). And I am now typing on
a lovely IBM PC keyboard. One of those metal-framed, heavy-duty brutes
that sounds like a machine gun when I get to touch-typing on it.

Yep, just about the same here. ('Course I don't have the trouble with salt
water corrosion.) You'd think they'd standardize the damn things, though I
s'pose anyone and everyone has a "better" idea.

Perhaps you could get a catayltic converter?

Incidentally, I've been told I'm a great source of CH4 and SO2 but it never
made me any money...

The cat died; I have no raw materials for it.

Yeah...lighting them doesn't provide heat or light for very long.
