I wrote to David Thomas, the author of Tamedos, about the numlock problem some time ago. Here is his response (which I may already have communicated to the group and have not had time to investigate myself): "By default, Tame does toggle numlock in order to correct a problem with Windows handling of the numlock. Perhaps this is causing a problem. It may be disabled by setting a registry value. Registry values can be effective system-wide, or only for specific users. The key named HKLM\Software\TameDOS contains system wide values, and HKCU\Software\TameDOS contains user overrides. To disable the numlock toggle, select the user key or the system key, create a REG_DWORD value named ResetNumlock and set it to 0." (Perhaps this is not even relevant.)
