To get anything "useful", we need to write backspace-space-backspace.

You mean only 1 backspace want do it?

Well... won't generally give the "expected" result - making the character disappear.

Still what would be the correct assembler routine?

That's a good question. As I recall, you said you were detecting some mouse event (I'm not familiar with "intellimouse" - mice around here can't even be trained to use a litterbox!), and executing a .com file to stuff a key into the keyboard buffer of the active window (in XP). Doesn't sound to me as if it would work. But you say you can "add most keystrokes except the backspace". What happens when you do whatever you do with the backspace? Can you do it three times, with 8, 20h, 8? That's all I had in mind.

Best,
Frank
