Turning NUMLOCK Off

On most PC's you can choose to have the computer start with the NumLock function active or inactive. Usually this is done through the BIOS settings. For example, on some PC's you can press the F2 key after you turn the machine on and you will gain access to the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). There is no such option on the Palmtop. However, to activate or inactivate the NumLock key on the Palmtop you can run a small program that will do the same thing.

Here is the hex-coded version of the program created by Eric Meyer, the author of VDE and many PC utility programs.

To build the program, exit System Manager by using the More Menu AT command. At the DOS prompt type

DEBUG

e100 b8 40 00 8e c0 bf 17 00 26 80 25 df b8 00 4c cd

When you finish typing in the program, press Enter and you should see that a new file NNOLOC.COM has been created on your disk drive.

For those who want a prewritten program that does the same NumLock setting, goto http://home.t-online.de/home/stefan.peichl
