  I would like someone out there to send me a simple TSR program in
  Turbo Pascal that would insert a string into the keyboard buffer. In
  doing so I would you to point out briefly.

  - how your program works
  - what are things to watch for when using a TSR
  - how can I insure that the current application gets the appropriate
    keys that the TSR just inserted in the keyboard.
  - you may want to include also how you would trap keys from within
    your TSR program.
  - How to go about deciding and restricting to a minimum the size
    of your TSR (stack, DS, heap, etc...)


  For simplicity assume your sample is to insert the word 'HELLO'
  when the CTRL-P key is pressed for example.
  I am planning to write my own keyboard macro and this part will help
  me achieve that.  The minimum inlines and more use of TP4 features
  the better.

  Thank you.
