 +===== Remarks ===== 
 The initial state of the keyboard is established by the system at application load time. Some default states may be modified by the application through KbdSetStatus. KbdGetStatus returns only those keyboard parameters initially set by KbdSetStatus. The returned parameters are: The initial state of the keyboard is established by the system at application load time. Some default states may be modified by the application through KbdSetStatus.

 Some options operate differently in the DOS mode than in the OS/2 mode. Therefore, the following restrictions apply to KbdGetStatus when coding in the DOS mode: Some options operate differently in the DOS mode than in the OS/2 mode.
