KEYSTACK /Mms Argument: Not Documented & Does Not Work

[Jay Sage]

The help for the KEYSTACK command does not mention the new /Mms argument that is described in the "Whats New". Even worse, the option does not work. The command keystack /m1000 "abcd" causes the string "abcd" to appear with no delay between the keys. The same is true for keystack /m1000 a b c d , so it's not just a problem with a quoted string.

I can reproduce that. Two more things ...

In the help I can't select this line (for copying). Its left side is in the splitter area. [One for the help developers?]

And apparently, if keyname is a number you get that (Unicode) character. If that's expected, it should be documented. Someone might put it to good use.

Sometimes! What's up here? I executed that tac command weeks ago. It's still in the command history.

And this KEYSTACK gives nothing.

KEYSTACK 9000 isn't sending a Unicode character 9000, it's sending a virtual key code of 9000. Which doesn't exist, so who knows what Windows will decide to do with it.

Quite a coincidence!

Just what you'd expect. 9000 MOD 256 is 40 which is VK_DOWN. So I'm getting the oldest command history entry.

The /Mms option is now working in build 33 (but still not in the help for the KEYSTACK command).

The problem with selecting text in the help file using the mouse occurs everywhere. To select text, I have to stop before reaching the left edge and then use cursor keys to get the last character.
