turn off keyboard-delay??

Hi folks,

I am programming a little jump-and-run game and my problem is:
The main caracter is controlled by keyboard but if I keep a key
pressed, it takes some time before there is a continous flow of
keyboard-signals. I used a procedure I found somewhere to shorten the
delay to 1/4 of a second but thats still way too long. There shouldnt
be a delay at all.

Thank you in advance,
Jochen, Austria

You can't use the BIOS for this sort of activity. Direct access works best.
