Hello!

Newbie here.

How can I change the Keyboard delay and typerate settings?

The typerate is fast enough but the delay is long.

I use Dosbox on Vista to run WP5.1

Thanks!

Some little program exists that can change the rate

1+1=10

Well, can you suggest one?

In dos, there was the following command:

rate=32 delay=1

Is there something similar in dosbox?

In DOS there is the MODE.COM external program with parameters similar to what you mention, and you can use the same program in DOSBox. I believe FreeDOS also has a MODE program if you don't have MSDOS. There is also a utility specifically for changing the typematic rates here.
