                                        drive letter and path of 
                                        the KEYBOARD.SYS file if 
                                        this file is not located 
                                        in the current directory.
    EXAMPLES
	  KEYB SV,046
loads the Swedish keyboard's character set.
	  KEYB
returns the code for the type of keyboard that is being used.
    MESSAGES
	  Active codepage not available from CON device
Either the code page switching CON driver has not been installed, 
or there is no CON code page currently loaded.
	  Bad or missing Keyboard Definition file
The KEYBOARD.SYS file either could not be located or contains 
invalid data. Copy a new KEYBOARD.SYS file from the original DOS 
start-up disk.
	  Codepage specified has not been designated
The code page you specified has not been prepared for your 
keyboard. Use the MODE command to prepare your CON (keyboard) 
device.
	  Codepage yyy is not valid for given keyboard code
Use the MODE command to change to a valid code page, or specify a 
valid code page with the KEYB command.
	  Codepage specified is inconsistent with invoked
codepage
You have used a code page number that is not the currently 
invoked code page. Use the MODE command to change the code page 
to match your keyboard code page, or the characters you type may 
be displayed incorrectly.
	  Codepage specified is inconsistent with selected
	  codepage
You have used a code page number that is not the currently 
selected code page. Use the MODE command to change the code page 
to match your keyboard code page, or the characters you type may 
be displayed incorrectly.
	  Codepage specified has not been prepared
Use the MODE command to prepare your keyboard device driver with 
the code page you want to use.
     
	  Invalid codepage specified
You have used invalid parameters in the KEYB command line. Check 
and try again.
	  Invalid keyboard specified
You have used invalid parameters in the KEYB command line. Check 
and try again.
	  Invalid syntax
You have used invalid parameters in the KEYB command line. Check 
and try again.
	  KEYB has not been installed
You used the KEYB command to query which keyboard is currently 
being used. You need to install the KEYB function.
	  Unable to create KEYB table in resident memory
The configuration you requested exceeds the amount of resident 
memory originally specified. Restart DOS and reinstall KEYB with 
a new configuration.
    UNDO
     You can switch from the keyboard loaded with KEYB to the 
U.S. English keyboard by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1. Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 
to return to the non-n-U.S. keyboard. 
    NOTE
     To use "front-face" characters (those that are displayed on 
the front edge of certain keys), press and hold Ctrl-Alt while 
pressing the key. (If you are using a Canadian French keyboard, 
press and hold Alt-Shift instead.)
