For those of you who have AT-class machines, there is another way.

Set the type rate using your favorite utility for such a purpose from the
DOS command line before entering Windows.  Then, delete the line in the
WIN.INI [Windows] section that says KeyboardSpeed=xx.  Windows will now use
the setting that existed when you entered Windows, and *all* DOS
applications that you run out of Windows will use these same settings.
