     Function 6F01H of Interrupt 16H (as documented somewhere in the DOS BIOS
reference) lets you set both the pause before the "typematic" repeating begins
and the rate of repetition.  I'm not much of a programmer, so I can't help
you any more than pointing you in this direction.

     For a MUCH easier way of doing it, look on your friendly neighborhood
BBS for a program called "TURBOKEY."  There are others, but this one seems
to be the best.  Most of the keyboard accellerators automatically set the
shortest delay and the fastest repeat, which is a bit squirrelly for my 
clumsy hands.  TURBOKEY lets you set the delay and repeat rate independently.
