keyboard not functioning

[Errol Sapir]

Sinclair
Thank you. That was the solution. I would never have found it without 
your direction. Now that I have solved the problem could you (or 
anybody) explain the "slow keys" thing. What is it meant for, what does 
it do, how does one activate it? (as I somehow did)
Thanks
Errol
