Hi all,
 
Today, yet again, we hit the problem of the fds and jkl keys not working
for six-key entry.  This was on a lap top computer, a Fujitsu 1010
Lifebook to be precise.

Since the client had purchased a package including DBT and embosser, he
wasn't best pleased at the possibility of having to use an external
keyboard.

Cutting a long story short we have discovered, in this particular case
anyway, that if we re-map the six keys to q, w, e, o, p and [, it works
a treat.
 
To change what keys are used, you need close down DBT, then locate the
duxbury.ini file, which is usually in the c:\windows folder.  Open it in
a plain text editor such as Notepad.  Look for the line which says:-

ChordKeys=fdsjkl

and change it accordingly - in our case to, "ChordKeys=qweop["  (Without
the quotes)

Oddly enough, we found this to be a more comfortable combination.

So if you do find you can't use six-key entry, try a few alternatives,
usually at the extreme ends of the keyboard.

I make absolutely no guarantees here, but it's worth a try.
