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

You mean only 1 backspace want do it?
Still what would be the correct assembler routine?

You problem with the backspace could come from the keyboard
handler itself, some OS (IIRC: DOS&DOSKEY) remove the last recent
character in its buffer already when receiving a BACKspace.

So if the buffer is empty any BACKspace would be ignored.
You then may need to check on the last received scan-code
in the buffer to find 'last key' pressed was a BACKspace.

My own written KEYBD routines produce code 08 for BACKspace
and leave any action on it to the application.

But as it seems you like to write a SIMKEY function for winXP,
you better check on API-opportunities then.

for win32 he got for instance "User32.keybd_event"

there another as well, "SendInput", that is new, where he can send an
array, but
I think the docs are misleasing on that one, and I didnt get it working
last time I tried. "User32.keybd_event" is easier to set up and I know it
works.
It syntesize a key into the os, as if it came from the keyboard.

Thank you all, but I've found out that the old Intellimouse 4.12 still
has the backspace to be able to assign to a mouse button. That version
even scrolls windows on hovering without the need to make them active.
I wonder why version 5 and 6 doesn't have it anymore?! Did Microsoft
forget it?

If I could find out how to program my own mouse-driver/utility I would
be able to even give 5-button mouses even more power. I am thinking
here on assigning something on a combination of simultanious pressed
buttons or even on which order they are pressed simultanious....
