Sorry for not being clear -- it was mere statement of fact, not report
of the problem. I guess, it should have said: ...despite LED not being
lit, "caps lock" did capitalize keys on the main keyboard. Keypad does
not have "caps lock" or "num lock".

"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.

If you are in or somewhere near :) continental US, send me your address
in the private mail -- I'll ship you that keypad.
