Midi yoke and IMP?

Above is a list of programs, but the main one that I am referring to is imp.
It claims to enable my computer to distinguish between 2 keyboards, and says that midi-yoke is a requirement for most of his software.
I dled imp, but now I don't know what to do... I run the .exe, choose a imp file and it still acts just as if I had 2 normal keyboards connected.... any ideas? I don't even understand where midi-yoke comes in to play.

Unless you explain what you're trying to do with imp, I can't really offer a better explanation of what MIDI Yoke offers than the site itself.

Sorry about that...
Basically I want to be able to hook up 2 keyboards into one computer, and have one be a midi controller, while the other functions just as a normal qwerty keyboard.
Imp CLAIMS to be able to do this... but I can't figure it out....

Okay. IMP needs to send MIDI events somewhere, right? If you want those events to go out a physical MIDI port, that's the MIDI output you'll choose. If you want the events going to another program, you'll need MIDI Yoke.
In hardware, you'd have:
[MIDI Keyboard: OUT]<--midi cable-->[IN: MIDI Module]
In software, you've got:
[Program A: OUT]<---MIDI Yoke "junction"-->[IN: Program B]
Here, "Program A" is IMP.

I know this is kinda branching out from midi yoke a little bit but...
Right now, the second keyboard, when imp is running, is simply acting as another keyboard... even holding down shift on one affects the other.
Secondly, I see no way to tell IMP to send the info to ANYTHING, or even if IMP is sending or recieving info.

Yep - and I don't know IMP, so I can't really help with it, sorry!
