Hi James, here's the corrected post:

* Constant declarations
#DEFINE SPI_GETKEYBOARDSPEED 10
#DEFINE SPI_SETKEYBOARDSPEED 11
* Get keyboard tick rate
DECLARE INTEGER SystemParametersInfo IN Win32API;
  INTEGER uiAction, SHORT uiParam,;
  INTEGER @pvParam, INTEGER fWinIni
lnspeed = 0
llsuccess = (SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETKEYBOARDSPEED, 0, @lnspeed, 0) # 0)
* Set the keyboard tick rate
DECLARE INTEGER SystemParametersInfo IN Win32API;
  INTEGER uiAction, SHORT uiParam,;
  INTEGER pvParam, INTEGER fWinIni
llsuccess = (SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETKEYBOARDSPEED, lnspeed, 0, 0) # 0)

Setting this requires that the speed be passed by value in the uiParam parameter. Getting the value requires that the pvParam be passed by reference.

Is this what you meant?
