Sorry for not being clear -- it was mere statement of fact, not report of the problem.

"Num lock" on the main keyboard (keypad does not have one) switches *keypad* into numeric mode leaving main keyboard in alpha -- main keyboard does not really have a numeric part -- it overlaps some of the alpha keys. > thanks again for trying this and reporting the problems. i will try to > get myself a couple of usb keyboards and reproduce/fix the problems.
