entries into VEE. I just received a press release for a product that might
help. It's a cable that converts PS/2 keyboard into ASCII and connects to an
RS-232 port. There's also a complete RS-232 keyboard kit. It might make life
easier for some of you.

This is not an endorsement and I have not tried the product.
