No, it is not in the DOS documentation.  (Not at least below the
quirky MsDos 4.0). 

You can change the typematic rate for an AT or 386 (the keyboard
rate) e.g. by keyrate.exe which is in /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc.  The
feature is not available for XTs. 

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send
prerecorded instructions on request.  (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply.  Contact your
system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because
unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server
anyway.  If you are in North America first consider using an ftp
site near you to spare the overseas load.)
