Specifies whether the run-time system includes a workaround for a Windows 98 problem where Caps Lock also acts as Shift Lock.

Syntax:
>>-----set win9x_shiftlock_fix=---.-TRUE-.-----><
                                  +-FALSE+
Parameters:
TRUE The run-time system ensures that Caps Lock does not act as Shift Lock
FALSE The run-time system does not ensure that Caps Lock does not act as Shift Lock
Properties:
Default: TRUE
IDE equivalent: None
Comments:

Caps Lock does not act as a Shift Lock provided certain entries are present in the Windows system files. If the entries are present the workaround indicated can be disabled to allow the operating system to handle the keystrokes. This avoids potential problems on keyboard layouts where the workaround has not been verified.

The required entries are as follows:

In config.sys:

DEVICE=<install-dir>\command\display.sys con=(ega,,1)

In autoexec.bat

mode con codepage prepare=((nnn) install-dir\COMMAND\ega.cpi) 
mode con codepage select=nnn 
keyb xx,,install-dir\COMMAND\keyboard.sys
