Chapter 6 / Command Reference
keyboard specifies a two-character identifier of
the
keyboard lay-
out.
You
can
choose any of
the
keyboard codes from
the
previous
table or examine
the
directory of your MS-DOS diskette
for
addi-
tional
KEYTxx.COM
commands. Be
sure
that
your MS-DOS sys-
tem
diskette
is
in
Drive
A
and
that
it
contains
the
KEYTxx.COM
file
that
matches your selection when using
this
parameter.
IUS specifies US scan codes.
You
may need to
set
this
parameter
to operate some application programs
that
are
configured
for
a
US keyboard.
Notes
and
Suggestions
• When SELECT is used to make
an
international backup MS-
DOS diskette,
the
MS-DOS system diskette
must
be
in
Drive
A.
•
You
must
reboot
the
computer
with
the
newly created MS-
DOS diskette
for
the
new keyboard layout and country code to
change.
•
SELECT
creates
new AUTOEXEC.BAT
and
CONFIG.SYS
files on
the
backup diskette. The versions of these files on
the
original diskette
are
not copied.
