RE: Numberlock on?



Title: RE: Numberlock on?

This probably doesn't really relate, but I like telling "Tales Of The Weird" stories. The other day I had Scroll-Lock on in a Program-Mode file and Alt-Tabbed out to Win. When I came back, Srcoll-Lock had reversed to "light on/lock off" - "light off/lock on". I had to re-boot Xy to fix it. First time I've seen that one.

Yes, I've seen this too.  Annoying, and I don't know the cause or how to prevent it.  More likely
something to do with some DOS sessions in this OS, than with Xy itself, I think.  The ability to use
VXDs or most TSRs was removed as of NT-4, so I don't know if you could use something like NUMOFF in a
batch file that runs Xy.  For now, as soon as that "N" shows up, I hit CTRL-NUMLOCK, and it goes
away.  Plain NUMLOCK has no effect.  Maybe there's a way to force the execution of that key sequence
in STARTUP.INT ?
