    PRTSCFIX.COM

    Many  a time I have had to wait for my PC to work out that there is  no
    printer plugged into it and I didn't really mean to hit shift prt sc, I
    am  sure  you  have.  PRTSCFIX disables the right shift and  PRTSC  key
    combination, the left shift and prt sc function is left untouched.

    SCROLLK.COM

    Ever had that problem whilst typing a text file from DOS,  where either
    you throw coffee over yourself trying to put your mug down to stop  the
    scrolling,  or you simply miss the text you were looking  for.  SCROLLK
    redifines the scroll lock key to work as a toggle,  instead of pressing
    ctrl and num lock, scrollk stops and starts keyboard operation.

    PUSHDIR

    USAGE:    PUSHDIR

    PUSHDIR  allows you to save the current directory from a batch file and 
    switch  back  to  it later in the batch file (by  using  its  companion 
    POPDIR).  For example, if 123 was located in a directory called c:\123, 
    then you could create a batch file like the following:

    PUSHDIR
    CD\123
    123
    POPDIR

    Assuming  you had pathed to the batch file,  you could then  start  123 
    from  anywhere  on you hard disk and when you left  123,  your  current 
    directory  would  automatically  be restored as if you never  left  it.  
    Note that this is different than just pathing to 123 because 123  (like 
    many  other programs) needs the current directory to be set properly so 
    that it can find its support files (configuration files and drivers).

    The first time you use PUSHDIR a small piece of it will remain resident 
    (about 400 bytes).   This is the storage area used to save the  current 
    directory.  Subsequent  PUSHDIR's  and  POPDIR's do not  use  any  more 
    memory.

    PUSHDIR's and POPDIR's can be nested up to 6 levels deep.  Each PUSHDIR 
    will save the latest current directory and each POPDIR will restore the 
    last one saved.


    POPDIR

    USAGE:    POPDIR

    POPDIR is just the counterpart to PUSHDIR. After a PUSHDIR, POPDIR will 
    restore  the  previous  current directory.  See  the  documentation  on 
    PUSHDIR  for  more information.  Note:  POPDIR is of absolutely no  use 
    without first doing a PUSHDIR.

    I hope you find these useful,  I certainly do. I have found them not to
    interfere  with any other software that I have used other that ANSI.SYS
    ANSI.SYS,  SCROLLK fails to work.
