RE: scroll lock key

Merci Robert,

It did work. The first and easiest suggestion was successful (Fn+F11). Is
"scroll lock" that defunct?? Thanks for the suggestion.

M.G.

Fn+F12 is the ScrollLock on the Qosmio -- toggle ScrollLock on and off
Fn+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.
