JSI Tip 0906. I set the boot menu timeout to 0, how do I choose a different selection?

If you set the boot menu timeout to 0, using Control Panel / System / Startup\Shutdown, or by directly editing boot.ini, you can force a boot menu selection on startup by flooding the keyboard buffer.

During boot, before the boot menu would appear, press and hold down the DOWN ARROW key.
