Re: Xy under XP pro - cursor problem in thesaurus [problem solved]

Not wanting to spend the money (or lug it around) I never followed
Robert's advice to get an external keyboard to solve the thesaurus
problem on my Thinkpad.

Today, I inadvertently -- magically? -- solved this problem. I shifted
the laptop into NumLock mode. The laptop "number pad/cursor keys" were
able to move the cursor in the Thesaurus. When I shifted out of
NumLock, the regular cursor keys suddenly worked Thesaurus perfectly.
(Page Up/Down, etc. all worked, too).
