Hi, Eddy -

 ET> Numlock should be ON, that's my opinion. I don't need two sets

I quite agree.  The only reason I can imagine for IBM choosing the
opposite default is their obsession with backward compatibility:
This keeps all those XT keyboards working properly :)  Still don't
understand why they have never at least allowed users an option.

 ET> Could you email the shareware version to me (my email address is
 ET> at the bottom) ?  Thanks in advance.

'fraid not.  Looks like I zapped the shareware version when I got the
registered set.

Just looked around and was pleasantly surprised to find it on Hobbes
in PUB\OS2\UTIL\SYSTEM  It's slightly newer (1995) than my 1994
version.
