Gentlemen: some time ago, a player (Packman) on the Paradox Forums developed a nice little app called keymapper (v. 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6) that very neatly re-mapped the keyboard, so that in pre-AoD days, you could yourself use it to pause on the more comfortable space bar: start it, "remap", then "set" and (most important!) minimize it on the tray while playing HoI II. Just found it in my old game archives (keymapper v1.6) and am very happy to report that it works for DH! Link provided:
