How_to_Get_the_NumLock_Key_to_Stay_On.html
-- just a little aside -- given that hitting the numlock key isn't
beyond even those folks yelling in the hallway!
I had an "executive" secretary berate for "misprograming" her
computer -- all her lower case letters were capitals and her upper
case letters were lowercase -- she would finish a letter, select all
and change case to make things right. She was much happier once
after I told her to very carefully press the caps lock key -- just once.
Thanks
