What Does the Numbers Lock Key Do?

Hey Gang,

A question that has always bugged me. What is the 'Numbers Lock" key for and why is it always on?

Thanks,
Orangeman

Ummmm...it turns on the number pad on the right of the keyboard.....

or off... makes it a navigation pad instead....

Actually I just tried turning off and on the navigation pad using the numbers lock key. It still worked whether it was on or off.

BUT turning it on did 'capitalize' every key in the 10-key, or navigation pad. So that the 'home' key became a 7, the 'end' key became a 1, etc.

So I guess it turns the 10-key (accounting) pad into a navigation pad...

Thanks,
Orangeman

Forget it, I'm grabbing the first bus to Iraq.....I think my chances are better there...

On second thought, maybe I should just ask NooNoo to protect me...Aw forget that too, she'd probably just grab the gun away from Ya_Know and shoot me herself....

Errr your post count has either been reduced or I can't read (a distinct possibility) or someone tampered with it, who'd do a thing like that, he said 'almost' invisably ???

**Orangeman** · October 4th, 2003, 07:24 AM

Beats the hell out of me. I'm as confused as you are Confus-ed.

Spoiler:

A few hours ago it read 2001. The I bought it up to 2001 and 2002. TripleRLtd even bought it to my attention and congratulated me.

On second thoughts I'd better quote that to make it 'clearer'

But that doesn't work either !

(Now I am confus-ed) - here's what I 'said' ...

"Or applying my newly discovered 'odd/even' rule ... perhaps you wrote them invisably ?" (No 'color' involved that time!)
