        2.10 The Win95 startup key keeps dumping me out of TR1...
    
        TR1 is a DOS game; as such, any accidental use of the win95 keys now
        included with most PC keyboards will cause the computer to stop the
        game and go to the win95 desktop.  These keys are unfortunately
        located between the <Ctrl> and <Alt> on both sides of the spacebar,
        making life difficult for the Tomb Raider player (thank you Bill...
        thank you very much...).
    
        To stop this you will need to download a keyboard 're-mapping'
        utility (either Doswinky or Kernal Toy - see section 5.1.4) which
        will re-map the Win95 startup key to any function you want (other
        than launch the startup menu) leaving you able to press the
        offending key while playing TR1 and have nothing untoward happen.
    
        If you don't want to go to all the trouble above and like the idea
        of committing a bit of vandalism here is another solution; just
        remove the offending keys from the keyboard by levering them off
        with a knife or screwdriver... (they can be replaced afterwards).
