1. Norton Utilities has a option that lets you adjust the 'key-repeat rate'
   (which is what I think you mean).  I assume other programs exist which
   do this as well...

2. I know Windows lets you set your favorite key-repeat rate via the
   Control Panel (and the WIN.INI file).  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear
   to be able to _preserve_ the original setting in effect when you started
   up Windows.  Does anyone know if it is possible to have Windows preserve
   and restore the original rate?
