Fn+F12 is the ScrollLock on the Qosmio -- toggle ScrollLock on and off with
successive Fn+F12 keypresses -- ScrollLock "on" *may* illuminate a light on the
front panel (I know that Fn+F11, the NumLock, has a little light).

Another approach (if Fn+F12 doesn't work, or isn't recognized by XyWrite) would
be to assign XyWrite function TS ToggleScrollLock to a more accessible key
combo in your XyWrite KBD file. For example, you could make it Ctrl-S:
31=NI,TS

A third approach would be to plug in an external keyboard that does have a
conspicuous ScrollLock. That's a sure fire solution.

One of these will work.
