There is a feature of MS-DOS that I want to disable.  When the ALT key
is held down while digits on the numeric pad are pressed, the corresponding
ascii character is generated.  I do not want this to happen; I want a BIOS
scancode for the key combination pressed.  If anybody out there knows how
this can be done (without going to the interrupt level), please drop me 
a note.  Thanks.
